Answer:
1960Joules
Explanation:
Since we are not told what too find, we can as well find the Gravitational Potential Energy.
GPE = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height
GPE = 100*9.8 * 2
GPE = 980*2
GPE = 1960Joules
Hence the gravitational potential Energy is 1960Joules
Answer:
8 N North.
Explanation:
Given that,
One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.
We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.
Let North is positive and South is negative.
Net force,
F = 10 N +(-2 N)
= 8 N
So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".
Answer:
Force
Explanation:
The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.
Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/
.
When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.
i.e F = m × a
where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.
The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.
Answer:
Use of telemetry and radar astronomy
Explanation:
An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.
After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.
The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.
A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured, once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using
distance = speed X time.
However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors
