<h2>
Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.
</em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy
will be:
Where
is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of
is directly proportional to the height.
Answer:
The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.
Explanation:
To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.
By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

Our values are given by,

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,
Skate 1:


Skate 2:


Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:
m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}
75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}
Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}
v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}
v_{fx}=2.02m/s
Now applying the formula in Y direction:




Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.
Answer:a
Explanation:
Because its has to use tihs potential energy to overcome the atmosphere so the shuttle will not go back down
Answer:
For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.
Explanation:
Answer:
They both rises to same height.
Explanation:
When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.
Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.
Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.
Therefore, they rises to the same height because height will not change with mass.
