<u>Answer:</u> The potential energy of the rock before it began to fall is 4900 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force is defined as the mass multiplied by the acceleration of the object.

F=mg

where,

F = force exerted on the object

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

Potential energy is defined as the energy possessed due to the height of the object.

Mathematically,

E_p=mgh

Or,

E_p=F\times h

where,

E_p = potential energy of the rock = ?

F = force applied on the rock = 98 N

h = height of the bridge from where the rock is thrown = 50 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_p=98N\times 50m\\\\E_p=4900J

Hence, the potential energy of the rock before it began to fall is 4900 J

1. A student gathered two boxes of the same size made of different materials: glass and clear plastic. She placed them on a wind
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1.  to relate the type of box material to the temperature of the air within the box

2. Question is incomplete

3. scatterplot

Explanation:

1. The only thing done differently in this experiment is the type of material used in making the boxes, hence the experiment must be about that. Before proceeding to answering this question, we must have this at the back of our minds.

We can gather from the experiment that the boxes are of the same size and were subjected to sunlight for an hour (the same time duration for both). Hence, the temperature of the air inside the box will only be affected by the type of material the box is made of since the boxes have the same size and were subjected to sunlight for the same duration.

From the options provided, the best description for this experiment is; to relate the type of box material to the temperature of the air within the box.

2. The question is incomplete. The value for speed/velocity needed to calculate the average time is missing.

However, the formula needed here is velocity = distance ÷ time

3. There are two variables in this experiment; distance and time

The type of graph that shows two variables on it (of the options provided) is the scatterplot.

Objects with masses of 181 kg and 712 kg are separated by 0.442 m. A 72.6 kg mass is placed midway between them. 0.442 m b b 181
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The Force exerted by the two objects will be same and 4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N

Explanation:

Let m1 be the mass of the first object and m2 be the mass of the second object and the distance between them be d. Then

m1= 181kg

m2= 712 kg

d= 0.442 m

G is the gravitational Constant

According to Newtons Law Gravitational Force is given by

F=G m1 m2 /d²

F= 6.672 × 10−11 ×181×712/(0.442)²

F=  859,576.24  × 10−11/0.195364

F=  4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N

The Force exerted by the two masses on the third mass will be same and 4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N
