Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2. Since the zero of gravitational potential energy can be chosen at any point (like the choice of the zero of a coordinate system), the potential energy at a height h above that point is equal to the work which would be required to lift the object to that height with no net change in kinetic energy. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Less than Mercury's

Explanation:

According to third Kepler's law, the square of the planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital radius of the planet's orbit. The constant of proportionality depends only on the mass of the star, recall that 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Since the orbital period of this planet is less than Mercury's, its average orbital radius is less than Mercury's.

A 55 meter rope is lying on the floor and has has a weight of 4040 N in total. How much work is required to lift up one end of t
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Length of rope L=55\ m

Weight of rope W=4040\ N

weight density \lambda =\frac{4040}{55}=73.45\ N/m

Work done to lift rope 33 m

W=\int_{0}^{33}\lambda hdh

W=\int_{0}^{33}73.45hdh

W=73.45\left [ \left ( \frac{h^2}{2}\right )\right ]^{33}_0

W=39.993\ kJ
