Answer:
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location in the gravitational field.
This energy is always measured as a difference with respect a "zero level" - generally taken as the ground level.
Therefore, it generally makes more sense to measure the change in gravitational potential energy of an object when its height is changed; this is given by:
where:
m is the mass of the object
is the acceleration due to gravity
is the change in height of the object

Answer:
The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.
Explanation:
Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :
×a×s
where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s
u = initial velocity = 20 m/s
a = acceleration
s = distance traveled = 300 m
Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/
Using Newton's second law, we have:
F=m×a
where m = mass = 1000 kg
a= acceleration = 0.375 m/
Putting values we have F=375 N
