The gravitational potential energy of the rock is:

490 J at 50 m

196 J at 20 m

9.8 J at 1 m

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

For an object near the Earth's surface, the GPE is given by

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity at Earth's surface

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the rock in this problem,

m = 1 kg

So its GPE at h = 50 m is

$GPE(50)=(1)(9.8)(50)=490 J$

The GPE at h = 20 m is

$GPE(20)=(1)(9.8)(20)=196 J$

While the GPE at h = 1 m is

$GPE(1)=(1)(9.8)(1)=9.8 J$

Suppose you took a trip to the moon. Write a paragraph describing how and why your weight would change. Would your mass change t

Darina [25.2K]

Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop

I’m still lost on this please help me on this I know it’s not D I got it wrong

Before you even look at the questions, look over the graph, so you know what kind of information is there.

The x-axis is "time". OK. You know that as the graph moves from left to right, it shows what's happening as time goes on.

The y-axis is "speed" of something. OK. When the graph is high, the thing is moving fast. When the graph is low, the thing is moving slow. When the graph slopes up, the thing is gaining speed. When the graph slopes down, the thing is slowing down. When the graph is flat, the speed isn't changing, so the thing is moving at a constant speed.

NOW you can look at the questions.

OMG ! It's only ONE question: What's happening from 'c' to 'd' ? Well I don't know. Perhaps we can figure it out if we LOOK AT THE GRAPH !

-- Between c and d, the graph is flat. The speed is not changing. It's the same speed at d as it was back at c .

What speed is it ?

-- Look back at the y-axis. The speed at the height of c and d is 'zero' .

-- The 2nd and 4th choices are both correct. From c to d, the speed is constant. The constant speed is zero. The car is not moving.

How far apart would you have to place the poles of a 1. 5 v battery to achieve the same electric field?

Zarrin [17]

To place the poles of a 1. 5 v battery to achieve the same electric field is 1.5×10−2 m

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

∆V=Ed

where,

∆V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

what is potential difference?

The difference in potential between two points that represents the work involved or the energy released in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1v/cm=100v/cm

when connected to a battery with potential difference

∆v=1.5v

Solving the equation,we find

$d = \frac{ \:Δv}{e}$
