Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules

Which of the following statements does NOT use the term angular size or angular distance correctly?
Verizon [17]

Answer: Statement 1 is incorrect.

Reason:

Unit of measure of angular distance is not meters.

Explanation:

The term 'angular size' is used to describe the apparent size of the objects in the night sky.

The angular distance is defined as the angle through which an object moves on a circular path. The SI unit is radian.

Other units are revolution (rev) and degrees.

In statement 1, angular distance is measured in meters which is incorrect. In other options, there is no factual mistake so they are correct.

Let's discuss them,

Statement 2:

Here, we are talking about the use of outstretched hand to estimate the angular distances and sizes which is correct.

Statement 3:

This statement talks about the same angular sizes of the sun and the moon, here the term is again used correctly.

Statement 4:

Here, the angular distance is measured in the correct units i.e, degrees so this statement is also correct.

Describe the different types of objects found in the Universe
Tema [17]
There are asteroids, which are rocks that fly through the space, and meteors which are pretty much the same. The only difference is their sizes. There are also planets, big and small. The moon, the dwarf planet Pluto, and many more. There are probably thousands of other planets that we haven't quite yet discovered. Soon we will though. There are also billions of stars, such as the sun, and some others we don't have names for that form constellations.
Hope this helped!!
