Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) = 9.8m/s² (rate of gravity) x 8,000,000kg of water x 50.0m

GPE = 3,294,000,000 Joules (J) which is also the change in GPE

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

nata0808 [166]
1. Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented questions.
2. Learners give priority to evidence, allowing them to develop and
evaluate explanations that address scientifically-oriented questions.
3. earners formulate explanations form evidence to address scientifically
oriented question
4. Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations,
particularly those reflecting scientific understanding.
5. Learners communicate and justify their proposed explanations.

Why does conduction occur in solids?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.
