Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N

The above answer is correct however gravitational potential energy is measured in joules. So the final answer would be 7840 J (joules) not newton’s.

The stars in the sky are organized into groups of stars called constellations which appear near each other in the sky but are no
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.

What is the mass of 3 m3 of a substance having density 1200 kg/m3​
adell [148]

Answer:

3600 kg

Explanation:

From the question,

Density = Mass/Volume

D = M/V.............................. Equation 1

Where D = Density of the substance, M = mass of the substance, V = Volume of the subtance.

Make M the subject of the equation

M = D×V ............................ Equation 2

Given: D = 1200 kg/m³, V = 3 m³.

Substitute these values into equation 2

M = 1200×3

M = 3600 kg.

Hence the mass of the substance is 3600 kg
