The gravitational potential energy is 25.6 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is given by:

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational field strength

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem, we have

m = 8 kg is the mass of the brick

g = 1.6 N/kg is the gravitational field strength on the moon

h = 2 m is the height of the brick above the ground

Substituting,

GPE=(8)(1.6)(2)=25.6 J

<h2>The velocity of the boat relative to an observer standing on either bank = u = 18 \frac{km}{hr}</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of the boat in still water = u \frac{km}{hr}

speed of the river water = v \frac{km}{hr}

Relative speed of the boat in the water against the river flow is given by

Upstream speed = u - v ------- (1)

⇒ u - v = 12 \frac{km}{hr} ------ (2)

Given that speed of the water = 6 \frac{km}{hr}

Now velocity of the boat is given From equation (2)

⇒ u = 12 + v

Put the value of v = 6 , we get

⇒ u = 12 + 6

⇒ u =  18 \frac{km}{hr}

therefore , the velocity of the boat relative to an observer standing on either bank = u = 18 \frac{km}{hr}

What represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time?
vovikov84 [41]
In the graph of the force vs the time:
Force is the gradient of the momentum versus the time.

If we get the area under the curve in this graph:
it will be calculated as : force * time
which gives the change in momentum or the impulse.

Therefore, the area under the curve <span>represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time</span>
