Answer:

$\Delta GPE = mg\Delta h$

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:

$\Delta GPE = mg\Delta h$

where:

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta h$ is the change in height of the object

It takes you 8.3 min to walk with an average velocity of 1.6 m/s to the north from the bus stop to the museum entrance. How far

Anarel [89]

solution:

1.6 m/s = 96 m/min (in other words, 1.6 m/s x 60 s/min)

96 m/min x 8.3 min = 796.8 m

$s=ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2\\there is no accleration mentioned so,\\s= uv\\8.3\times60=498(s)\\510\times1.6=816(m)$

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?

Paladinen [302]

A. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body.

What is the relationship between the acceleration of an object change in relation to its mass

yarga [219]

The relationship between mass and acceleration is an inverse proportionality

Explanation:

The relationship between the acceleration of an object and its mass is given by Newton's second law, which states that:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

From the equation, we notice that if the force on the object is kept constant, then the mass and the acceleration are inversely proportional to each other. This means that:
