Gravitational potential energy = m * g* h

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential is referred as the energy spent to move the mass from one point to another. It is represented in the unit as Joules per kilogram.

Gravitational potential energy = m * g * h where m denotes the mass of the object, g denotes the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m / s 2, and h denotes the height in meters.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

Help with this question please.

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side $(2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H)$ , and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of $\mathrm H_2$ . To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since $2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O$ contributes 2 oxygens, and so does $\mathrm O_2$ .)

Some strongly electric fish will stun prey by generating an electric current that runs

Bezzdna [24]

Answer: when fish is stunning it's prey it's cause electric shock to the prey that's make it die and be able to be utilized by electric eel(fish generate electric surround)

What force is necessary to accelerate a 2500 kg care from rest to 20 m/s over 10 seconds?

EleoNora [17]

Force = mass x acceleration
force = 2500kg x (20m/s / 10m/s)
force = 2500kg x 2m/s^2
force = 5000kg m/s^2 = 5kN

i hope this is right (^^)

A car accelerates from 13 m/s to 25 m/s in 5.0 s. assume constant acceleration. what was its acceleration?

natima [27]

<span>a = 25-13/6 = 12/6 = 2 m/s^2
Av speed: 25+13/2 = 38/2 = 19 m/sec
Dist = speed * time
19 * 6 = 114 meters</span>
