Answer:
Vector Quantity
Explanation:
A Vector quantity is a quantity has both magnitude and direction while scalar quantity has only magnitude.
Answer:
El uso mas común de la energía potencial gravitacional, se da en los objetos cercanos a la superficie de la Tierra donde la aceleración gravitacional, se puede presumir que es constante y vale alrededor de 9.8 m/s2.
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Given that a stone dropped from the top of a 80m high building strikes the ground at 40 m/s after falling for 4 seconds. The stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy. (use 9 - 10 m/s)
O at the moment of impact
2 seconds after the stone is released after the stone has fallen 40 m
when the stone is moving at 20 m/s
At the top of the hill, the P.E = mgh
P.E = 10 × 80 × m
P.E = 800m
At the moment of impact, K.E = 1/2mv^2
K.E = 1/2 × 40^2 × m
K.E = 1/2 × 1600 × m
K.E = 800m
Since both P.E and K.E are the same, we can therefore conclude that the stone's potential energy with respect to the ground is equal to its kinetic energy at the moment of impact.
The correct answer is option A.
Answer:
Gravitational pull
Explanation:
There are four fundamental forces in nature:
- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.
- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).
In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.
So, the correct answer is
gravitational pull
