Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Right before the coin hits the ground, its height above the ground is 0 m, so the potential energy is:

PE = mgh

PE = (0.005 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0 m)

PE = 0 J

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
