IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
= (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)
= 29.4 kg-m²/s² = 29.4 joules .
Answer:
Black Hole
Explanation:
A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.
Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.
So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.
It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .
C.
Explanation: Because mirrors are lighter, and they are easier than lenses to make perfectly smooth.
