The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on three things. Its mass, its height above the surface of the earth and the pull of gravity (which is assumed to always be 9.8 m/s².

The Formula for finding the GPE is : m x g x h where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration and h is height from earth's surface. 

Using this formula we can find that :
GPE= 75 x 9.8 x 300 = 220500J (where J is the SI unit for GPE and stands for Joules.

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the reference)

-- Relative to the 70th floor, on which the refrigerator is standing,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0)  =  0 joules .

-- Relative to the 35th floor, halfway up to where the fridge is standing,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (150 m)  =  110,250 joules .

-- Relative to the ground,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (300 m)  =  220,500 joules .

Why is it warmer near the equator than near the poles?
maw [93]
The equator is warmer than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun. In other words, the sun is overhead the equator, which is a result of the Earth's curvature.

How many position coordinates are required to identify the position of a system undergoing one-dimensional motion? What symbol s
gregori [183]
One-dimensional motion can be plotted through the Cartesian plane which has a coordinates of (x,y). These coordinates are the abscissa and ordinates. Since, there are two coordinates, the answer to the second item is two.

The symbol that can be used to identify systems position is (x,y). Since this is one dimensional motion, it is possible that one of the two coordinates becomes zero.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

0.046

Explanation:

displacement = velocity/ time

d = 6m/s / 130s

d = 0.046m

1. I drop a penny from the top of the tower at the front of Fort Collins High School and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground
ladessa [460]

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is  9.8 m/s² .
The speed of a falling object keeps increasing smoothly,
in such a way that the speed is always 9.8 m/s faster than
it was one second earlier.

If you 'drop' the penny, then it starts out with zero speed. 
If you also start the clock at the same instant, then

         After  1.10 sec,  Speed = (1.10 x 9.8) = 10.78 meters/sec


         After  1.85 sec,  Speed = (1.85 x 9.8) = 18.13 meters/sec

But you want this second one given in a different unit of speed.
OK then:

     =  (18.13 meter/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter)

     =    (18.13 x 3,600 / 1609.344)  (mile/hr)  =  40.56 mph  (rounded)

We did notice that in an apparent effort to make the question
sound more erudite and sophisticated, you decided to phrase
it in terms of 'velocity'.  We can answer it in those terms, if we
ASSUME that there is no wind, and the penny therefore doesn't
acquire any horizontal component of motion on its way down.

With that assumption in force, we are able to state unequivocally
and without fear of contradiction that each 'speed' described above ...
with the word 'downward' appended to it ... does become a 'velocity'.
