This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side
<u>Note that</u>:
The gravitational potential energy = 
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>
Answer:
610 meters.
Explanation:
Because Jim released the accelerator, the truck started to slow down, so the friction force will eventually stop the truck.
the kinetic energy of the truck just after Jim released the pedal is:

The work done by the friction force is given by:

The answer is asthenosphere
"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.

If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
