Answer:

25.6 Joules

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

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

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

The gravitational potential energy of the brick is 25.6 J

Explanation:

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

Near the surface of a planet, the gravitational potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the brick in this problem, we have:

m = 8 kg is its mass

g = 1.6 N/kg is the strenght of the gravitational field on the moon

h = 2 m is the height above the ground

Substituting, we find:

PE=(8)(1.6)(2)=25.6 J

Mariulka [41]

Answer: a= 4.4ms-2

Displacement= 26.95 m

Explanation:

First, the speed in km/hr must be converted to m/s so that we can apply it in solving the question. The motion started from rest hence the initial velocity is 0m/s. The average displacement is also obtained from the equations of motion as shown in the image attached.

When a pendulum is at the center position, what is true of the kinetic and potential energy?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

When a pendulum is swinging about its mean position, the total energy is conserved.

At the mean position, the kinetic energy is maximum but the potential energy is zero.

At the extreme position, the potential energy is maximum but the kinetic energy is zero.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Remember: in physics and music, frequency equates to pitch, and amplitude equates to loudness. Also, remember frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength- remember this!

Thus, (B) should be the correct answer, because, think about it,  if a note is higher, than the wavelength should be shorter so the length should also be shorter, but in the case of B, if the cable is longer or thicker then the wavelength gets longer. Therefore, going from low to high, the string should be getting shorter, due to the fact that as wavelength gets shorter, frequency gets higher.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The territory of Scotland was divided into two parts -- the highlands and the lowlands.

Explanation:

The people living in places of high altitudes are called highlanders. These high altitude places are called high lands and places with low elevations or altitudes are called the low lands. There are many differences between the two places and people experiences different difficulties in these places.

Some of the differences are :

The life of the people living in high lands are much more tougher than those living in the low lands. The highlanders have to work more hard than lowlanders.

The agricultural activities are more flourished in the low lands than in the high lands.

The low lands are more populated and highly industrialized than the high lands. Iron and steel industry, metal working industry and agriculture are some of the main industries of lowlands. They are the land of the Scottish nation.
