Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).

What evidence do we have that the halo population of stars are older than other stars in the galaxy?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a.They have a smaller proportion of heavy elements.

Explanation:

As a star grows old , its metal content becomes low . Our sun is Population I star which means it is very new . Its metal content is 1.4 % . By the term metal we mean any element heavier than helium . Population II stars are older than population I stars . They will have lesser content of metal . Population III are oldest star group which have metal content as less as .015 % .
