Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

PE_{grav} =mgh

Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.

So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m

So we put that in and solve it. 
PE_{grav} =mgh
PE_{grav} =(10kg)(3.7m/s^{2})(1m)
PE_{grav} =37J

When a golf ball is hit, it travels at 41 meters per second. The mass of a golf ball is 0.045kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

  75.645 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is related to the mass and velocity by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv²

For the given mass of 0.045 kg, and velocity of 41 m/s, the kinetic energy is ...

  KE = 1/2(0.045 kg)(41 m/s)² = 75.645 J

__

The unit of energy, joule, is a derived unit equal to 1 kg·m²/s².

Explain how a step-down transformer makes electricity safe for use in homes.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

it lowers the voltage in homes

Explanation:

this is due to safety reasons as a human cant survive power line voltages which are between 150k and 760k and if you plugged anything short of a piece of 1 inch thick wire not counting insulation it would immediately start smoking and burn the cable.
