Answer:

Gravitational potential energy stored is 9.8 J.

Given:

G = 9.8 $\frac{N}{kg}$

height = 0.5 m

mass = 2 kg

To find:

Gravitation Potential energy stored = ?

Formula used:

Potential energy = mGh

m = mass

G = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Solution:

Potential energy of the object is given by,

Potential energy = mGh

m = mass

G = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Potential energy = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5

Potential energy = 9.8 Joule

Gravitational potential energy stored is 9.8 J.

What happens to the volume of a loaf of bread that is squeezed? The mass? The density?

nalin [4]

Explanation:

The volume of the bread decreases, making the bread appear more compact, and smaller in size. The mass stays the same, it won't change unless part of the bread is removed. The density increases, the air bubbles inside of the bread get squished down, causing the bread to be smaller, and in turn, causing it to be more solid.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

How much work does it take to lift 345 boxes to a height of 6.00 m of each box has a mass of 7.89 kg

Art [367]

Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = F × d

Where F is force applied or Weight and d is distance

Also Force = Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

Since gravity is acting on the boxes as it been lift

W = Weight × height from ground level

W = mg × d

Where m is mass of the boxes, g is accelration due to gravity( g = 9.8m/s² ) and d is distance from ground level.

Given the data in the question;
