<u>Note that</u>:

The gravitational potential energy = $mgh$

where m: is the mass, g: the acceleration due to the gravity and h is the height from the earth surface

Then, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by increasing the mass or the height from the earth surface

<u>In our question</u>, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by

<u>A) Strap a boulder to the car so that it wights more.</u>

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

If Pressure = 1000 Pa and Area = 0.2 m square, then Force

Maksim231197 [3]

Here

Pressure=1000Pa

Area=0.2m Square

Force=?

Now,,

Pressure =force / Area

1000=force/0.2

force=1000/0.2

Therefore,Force=5000N

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, $V_T$ , is given by the sum of the rock, $V_r$ , and the water, V, is given as follows;

$V_T$ = $V_r$ + V

$V_T$ = A × h₂

∴ $V_T$ = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, $V_T$ = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = $V_T$ - V

∴ $V_r$ = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = 20 cm³

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

On a topographic map, contour lines create a group of concentric, closed loops. Which of the following features could this indic

posledela

Answer:

b. Hill top

Explanation:

On a topographic map, the closed circles are meant to represent a hill. So if the contour lines are creating a group of concentric closed loops then it must be an indication of a hill.

What do we mean by the event horizon of a black hole?

TEA [102]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.

That is, at this border also called "point of no return", nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.
