Answer:

The gravitation potential energy of an object will be zero when it will be at ground.

Explanation:

The energy of an object due to its position is known as gravitational potential energy. Mathematically, it can be written as:

P.E = mgh ………… (i)

Equation (i) shows that P.E depends upon weight and height of the object above the ground. If h = 0 then,

P.E = mg(0)

P.E = 0

Hence, when the object will be at ground, its potential energy will be zero.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s

butalik [34]

Answer:

$m=5.51Kg$

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by $W=mg$ , so we can calculate its mass by doing $m=W/g$ , which for our values is:

$m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg$

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

$W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N$

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
