2. How much Potential Energy is gained when a 1250 N mass is raised a vertical distance of<br>35 m?​
vichka [17]

Potential Energy

The potential energy gained is 43750 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of an object's position relative to the ground ie, the height of the other object.

For example, an object has more potential energy when it is on top of a two-story building than it does resting on the ground. That's because the object's relative position to the Earth gives it more energy.

Potential Energy is defined as

Potential energy = Mass * height

Given Mass M = 1250 N

Given height h = 35 m

So the potential energy = 1250 * 35 = 43750 J

Thus the potential energy is 43750 J

Examine the five words and/or phrases and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the one option
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Abyssal Hill

Explanation:

The given words/phrases are directly related to the seafloor spreading process.

In the case of divergent plate motion, plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the thickness of the lithosphere decrease and with the increasing time, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. In the ocean basin, these magmas erupt along the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, it leads to the formation of a rift and later forms a rift valley.

Some of the segments of the mid-oceanic ridge in the oceans are quite gentle with no roughness along the slope and some segments are steep and rough. It occurs because of the differences in the spreading rate, and this is commonly known as oceanic rise. The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest of all other rocks.

The odd one here is the abyssal hill, which is formed generally at the seafloor. When the areas at the abyssal plains are comprised of large deposits of sediments forming a hill, then it is called an abyssal hill. It is not related to the seafloor spreading. It is simply a feature of the ocean floor.
