Answer:

Potential energy.

Explanation:

By the definition of potential energy we know that it is the energy possessed by the body by the virtue of its position. It is different from kinetic energy which is the virtue of the motion of a body.

Now formula of potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Where

PE = Potential energy

m = Mass of body

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Now imagine a container filled with water. Everyone knows that water is contained in form of tiny molecules which can be considered as layers on each other. Now the layers get higher and higher, each molecule on the higher layer is getting farther and farther from the base line of container.

Now according to formula of potential energy,

mass and acceleration due to gravity are same but height is increasing continuously, thus every molecule has greater potential energy comparing the molecule which belongs to the lower layer. In this way you can see that the only energy contained by the molecules of fluid at the higher level than the base is potential energy.

Now PE at base = mgh(1)

PE = at height = mg(h2)

since h2>h1

So magnitude of potential energy at the higher level will increase. So you can say that, above the base level, energy possessed by a fluid is Potential Energy.

Suppose Earth orbited a star whose mass was double the mass of the sun. If the radius of Earth’s orbit remained the same as it i
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two times as much

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is: Fg = GMm/r^2 with G being the universal gravitational constant.

So to make things easier we'll set r equal to 1 since it's a constant as well as G.

Then we're left with Fg=Mm with M being the mass of the sun and m being the mass of the earth.

So if m is constant and supposedly equals 1 then Fg=M so Fg is proportional to M therefore if M doubles then Fg doubles.

An object of mass 3.00kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.00 i^ m/s , collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.00 kg
musickatia [10]

The final velocity of the composite object is 6/5 m/sec.

<h3>what is velocity?</h3>
  • Velocity is the direction at which an item is moving and serves as a measure of the rate at which its location is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time (for example, 60 km/h northbound).
  • In kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies, velocity is a basic idea.
  • A physical vector quantity called velocity must have both a magnitude and a direction in order to be defined.
  • Speed is the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity; it is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s or m/s1) in the SI (metric system).

Maksim231197 [3]

An object in motion eventually stops because of friction.

<h3>What is Newton’s first law of motion?</h3>

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or continue its moving in a straight line at constant speed unless force is applied on it.

So we can conclude that An object in motion eventually stops is the correct answer.

The kicker now kicks the ball with the same speed as in the number of 4,but at 60.0°from the horizontal or 30.0° from the vertic
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) The time of flight equation for projectile motion can be used here to find total time in air.

t = 2vsin∅ / g

where v is speed, Ф is launch angle

t = 2×4×sin 60 / 9.8

t = 0.71 seconds

2) Distance where it hit the ground is called as range and has the following standard equation

D = v² sin2Ф/g

D = 4²sin 2×60 / 9.8

D = 1.41m

3) Maximum elevation is maximum time reached

h = v² sin²Ф / 2g

h = 4²sin² 60 / 2*9.8

h = 0.61 m
