Answer: positive

Explanation:

Gravity can be defined as the force with which the body is attracted towards the center of the earth, or towards any other body. If the force acting on the body is in the direction of displacement then the word done by the applicable force is positive. This causes the free fall of the ball under the influence of gravity is also positive.

A rock resting high in a cliff is an example of an object with what type of energy?

Elanso [62]

potential energy because it has the ability to do work

Explanation:

A rock resting high in a cliff is an example of potential energy because it has the ability to do work. This form of energy is called potential energy.

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. To do work, force must applied using energy to move a body through a particular distance.
A body at rest is not doing any work. This is the case with potential energy of the body on a high cliff.
At the state of rest, it is not doing any work.
The potential energy of this body expresses the ability of such body to do work.

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²

Alan starts from his home and walks 1.3 km east to the library. He walks an additional 0.68 km east to a music store. From there

zepelin [54]

Answer: final Displacement = 0 km, total distance covered =7 km

Explanation:

Given the following :

From home to library = 1.3 km East

Library to music store = 0.68km East

Music store to friend's house = 1.1km North

Friend's house to grocery store = 0.42 km North

Displacement is the net change in distance traveled.

Eastward distance :

To = (1.3 + 0.68)km = 1.98km East

Fro = (0.68 + 1.3)km = 1.98 km East

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Northward direction:

To = (1.1 + 0.42)km = 1.52km north

Fro = (0.42 + 1.1)km = 1.52km North

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Hence final Displacement = 0

Total distance covered = 2 × (1.3 + 0.68 + 1.1 + 0.42) = 2 × 3.5

= 7km
