Physics
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2

spin [16.1K]

Answer:It turns out the Venus flytrap is a power plant, capable of generating electrical signals. Each trap is actually a modified leaf: a hinged midrib, which would be the central vein of a more familiar leaf, joins the two lobes, which secrete a sweet sap to attract insects.

Explanation:The leaves of Venus' Flytrap open wide and on them are short, stiff hairs called trigger or sensitive hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, the two lobes of the leaves snap shut trapping whatever is inside.

When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?
prohojiy [21]
You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.
