How does height affects the potential energy of a body?​

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The higher the height above the more PE (Potential Energy), the body posses as seen in the formula PE = mass*gravity*height. m and g are constant hence only h affect PE

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) is the energy the body posses by virtue of its vertical height above the ground because, once the body is released, it will release or create some energy eg hydroelectricity power generation or a car going downhill does not need to be accelerated by the driver since it can roll over on its own due to PE

an airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of 235m. if the ball lands on the ground exactly at 2
Oksanka [162]
<span>When the question says the ball lands a distance of 235 meters from the release point, we can assume this means the horizontal distance is 235 meters. Let's calculate the time for the ball to fall 235 meters to the ground. y = (1/2)gt^2 t^2 = 2y / g t = sqrt{ 2y / g } t = sqrt{ (2) (235 m) / (9.81 m/s^2) } t = 6.9217 s We can use the time t to find the horizontal speed. v = d / t v = 235 m / 6.9217 s v = 33.95 m/s Since the horizontal speed is the speed of the plane, the speed of the plane is 33.95 m/s</span>

dangina [55]
<span>Frequency of a sound wave is called the pitch. Higher frequencies have a higher pitch and lower frequencies have the opposite. When an ambulance travels by a listener, the frequencies are oscillating rapidly and causing the shrill, loud sounds that emanate from the sirens.</span>

Nonamiya [84]
N2 = 3*n1
T2 = 2*T1
V1 = V2

(n2 * T2)/P2 = (n1 * T1)/P1
3 n1 * 2 T1 / P2 = n1 *T1 / P1
P2 = 6*P1

Since P2 is 6P1, it is 6 times greater than original pressure

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction
satela [25.4K]
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
