Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is energy within an object with respect to its height. The equation of gpe is:

GPE = mgh

where:
m = mass of object
g = gravitational constant, 9.81 m/s^2
h = height

For a given gpe of 20 J, the height can be calculated as follows:
*Remember to be consistent with units. Since Joule is derived from SI units, make sure to use SI units for the other variables

GPE = 20 J = 1 (9.81) (h)
h = 2.04 meters

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

A sample of carbon dioxide (C°p,m = 37.11 J K−1 mol−1) of mass 2.80 g at 27°C is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

182 to 3 s.f

Explanation:

Workdone for an adiabatic process is given as

W = K(V₂¹⁻ʸ - V₁¹⁻ʸ)/(1 - γ)

where γ = ratio of specific heats. For carbon dioxide, γ = 1.28

For an adiabatic process

P₁V₁ʸ = P₂V₂ʸ = K

K = P₁V₁ʸ

We need to calculate the P₁ using ideal gas equation

P₁V₁ = mRT₁

P₁ = (mRT₁/V₁)

m = 2.80 g = 0.0028 kg

R = 188.92 J/kg.K

T₁ = 27°C = 300 K

V₁ = 500 cm³ = 0.0005 m³

P₁ = (0.0028)(188.92)(300)/0.0005

P₁ = 317385.6 Pa

K = P₁V₁¹•²⁸ = (317385.6)(0.0005¹•²⁸) = 18.89

W = K(V₂¹⁻ʸ - V₁¹⁻ʸ)/(1 - γ)

V₁ = 0.0005 m³

V₂ = 2.10 dm³ = 0.002 m³

1 - γ = 1 - 1.28 = - 0.28

W =

18.89 [(0.002)⁻⁰•²⁸ - (0.0005)⁻⁰•²⁸]/(-0.28)

W = -67.47 (5.698 - 8.4)

W = 182.3 = 182 to 3 s.f

How would the seasons change if the earth were tilted at 90 degrees instead of 23.5?
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>The 23.5 degree tilt is responsible for the seasons. If the earth had no tilt there would not be seasons. If the earth was tilted by 90 degrees the seasonal changes would be at the most extreme. The Earth's pole would point directly at the sun at a point on the track around the sun. As the Earth revolves around the Sun the pole would alternate twice each year between pointing directly at the sun and being perpendicular to the sun. 

I hope this helps you!

Suppose a greenhouse is to be constructed to keep plants warm in the winter. Which material should be used for the windows of th
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

the answers, material D meets the requested characteristics

Explanation:

The objective of an insulating material for the house, must allow solar radiation to enter, so that the plants can perform photosynthesis and must prevent radiation from inside the house from being lost.

Therefore the material must meet two conditions be transparent to sunlight and be absorbed from the radiation coming from the house; this is to leave for visible light and absorb infrared radiation

Reviewing the answers, material D meets the requested characteristics
