A 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall possess gravitational potential energy. It <span> is </span>energy<span> an object possesses because of its position in a </span>gravitational <span>field. We calculate as follows:

GPE = mgh = 2(9.8)(40) = 784 J</span>

The bowling ball is at rest, so it only has gravitational potential energy.

Ug = mgy
Ug = (2)(9.8)(40) = 784 J

Determine la inercia rotacional de una varilla de 4 m de largo y 2 Kg de mesa si su eje de rotación esta situado a la mitad de l
Maslowich

Answer:

   I = 2.667 kg m²

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a body can be calculated by the expression

         I = ∫ L² dm

For high symmetry bodies the expressions of the moment of inertia are tabulated, for a rod with its axis of rotation at its midpoint it is

         I = \frac{1}{12} m L²

let's calculate

         I = \frac{1}{12}  2  4²

         I = 2.667 kg m²

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, the core will most likely become a _____.
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, the core will most likely become a black hole. Black holes form when stars explode, and create these areas of such intense gravitational fields that absolutely nothing can escape them if they approach a black hole. Anything near a black hole will disappear without a trace and possibility of ever being found.Although we still don't know much about black holes, we certainly know that nothing can survive the impact.</span>
