Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the rock, m = 20 kg

Initially the rock is at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the rock is, v = 90 m/s

Gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh............(1)

h is the height.

Using third equation of motion :

v^2-u^2=2ah

or

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value of h in equation (1)

U=mg\times \dfrac{v^2}{2g}

U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}

U=\dfrac{20\ kg\times (90\ m/s)^2}{2}

U=81000\ J

or

U = 81 kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

<span>GPE=81000J or 81kJ</span>

Explanation

Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x ? 

<span>To find H use one of the equation of motion </span>

<span>= [(90)^2 - 0 ] / 2(9.8) </span>

<span>Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x 8100 /2(9.8) = 81000 J</span>

What substances were found in the innermost regions (within about the inner 0.3 AUAU) of the solar system before planets began t
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen and helium compounds.

Explanation:

We know that the solar System was formed around <u>4.6 billion years ago, </u>due to the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.

This cloud  is a type of interstellar cloud and its density and size permit the formation of molecules, most commonly molecular hydrogen.

Therefore the principal substances were found before planets began to form are hydrogen and helium compounds, besides Rocks, metals, most of them in gaseous form.

I hope it helps you!
