Answer:

D. mass has a greater effect than height on gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. The larger the distance something falls through the greater the amount of gravitational potential energy the object loses as it falls. ... This is because a tree has more mass, so it needs to be given more gravitational potential energy to reach the same height.More massive objects have greater gravitational potential energy.

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of a 30.0 gram sample of copper from 20.0c to 60.0c?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: 462.00 Joules of heat will be needed to change the temperature of copper from 20° C to 60° C.

Explanation:

Mass of copper,m = 30.0 grams

Specific heat capacity of copper,c = $0.385 J/g ^oC$

$T_1=20^oC,T_2=60^oC$

$\Delta T=T_2-T_1=60^oC-20^oC=40^oC$

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$Q=30.0 grams\times 0.385 J/g ^oC\times 40^oC=462.00 J$

462.00 Joules of heat will be needed to change the temperature of copper from 20° C to 60° C.

How does the way in which the solar system formed explain the orbits, sizes, and compositions of the planets?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

DUE TO GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE SOLAR SYSTEM IS FORMED , ORBITS ARE CURVED TRAJECTORIES AND SIZE AND COMPOSTION OF PLANET ARE VERY UNIQUE AND COMPOSED OF ROCKS AND METALS and evolution of solar system has began 4.5 billion years ago,due to gravitational collapse of a small particle from a giant cloud.
