Answer:

11760J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill  = 30m

Weight  = 40kg

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational potential energy, it is the energy due to the position of a body;

     G.PE  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      G.PE = 40 x 9.8 x 30  = 11760J

7. Explain why observations of comets and shooting stars presented challenges to ancient astronomers using
Lelu [443]

According to Ptolemy's model, he, too, believed in a geocentric Universe and that the planets and stars were perfect spheres, though Earth itself was not.

He further thought that the movements of the planets and stars must be circular since they were perfect and, if the motions were circular, then they could go on forever.

<h3>What is comets and shooting stars?</h3>

Shooting stars are very different from comets, although the two can be related. A Comet is a ball of ice and dirt, orbiting the Sun (usually millions of miles from Earth). ... A shooting star on the other hand, is a grain of dust or rock (see where this is going) that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

a load of 800 newton is lifted by an effort of 200 Newton. if the load is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the fulcrum. what w
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

40 cm

Explanation:

We are given that

Load=800 N

Effort=200 N

Load  distance=10 cm

We have to find the effort distance.

We know that

load\times load\;distance=Effort\times effort\;distance

Using the formula

800\times 10=200\times effort\;distance

Effort distance=\frac{800\times 10}{200}

Effort distance=\frac{8000}{200}

Effort distance=40 cm

Hence,  the effort distance will be 40 cm.

The resistance of the light bulb changed as the voltage (and current) changed. Why does this resistance change occur?
Murrr4er [49]
This resistance current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. In other words, as the voltage increases, so does the current. Hope this helps !!
