Answer:

The object is 1.2755 meters above the ground

Explanation:

Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy for an object of mass "m" at a height "h" above the ground:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h

In this case, since we are given the mass of the object and the object's potential energy, we can estimate the only unknown (height "h") from the formula shown above. Also since all units are given in the SI system, the result for the object's height will result in meters:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h\\12.5\,J=1.0\,kg\,*9.8\,\frac{m}{s^2} \,*\,h\\\frac{12.5}{9.8} \,meters= h\\h=1.2755\ meters

The diameter of the wire is 2.8 * 10^-3 m.

<h3>What is the length?</h3>

Mass of the wire = 1.0 g or 1 * 10^-3 Kg

Resistance = 0.5 ohm

Resistivity of copper = 1.7 * 10^-8 ohm meter

Density of copper = 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

V = m/d

But v = Al

Al = m/d

A = m/ld

Resistance = ρl/A

= ρl/m/ld =

l^2 = Rm/ρd

l = √ Rm/ρd

l = √0.5 * 1 * 10^-3 / 1.7 * 10^-8 * 8.92 * 10^3

l = 1.82 m

A = πr^2

Also;

A = m/ld

A = 1 * 10^-3 Kg / 1.82 m * 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

A = 6.2 * 10^-5 m^2

r^2 = A/ π

r = √A/ π

r = √6.2 * 10^-5 m^2/3.142

r = 1.4 * 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2r = 2( 1.4 * 10^-3 m) = 2.8 * 10^-3 m

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law
Yuri [45]
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.
