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.

Real-world examples of power
Paha777 [63]
By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)

We are running late for school and we want to make our 0.5 kg tea (it’s at 90 C) colder. Let’s assume we can drink tea when it’s
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=0.154kg

Explanation:

(x*L)+(0.5kg*4200*50)+(x*4200*(-50)=0

(x*333 000J/kg*c)+(0.5kg*4200J/kg*C*(-40C))+(x*4200J/kg*C*50C)=0

What is know as law of inertia? ​
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<em><u>mark</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>me</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>brianliest</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>plz</u></em>

Explanation:

  • Law of inertia, also called Newton's first law, postulate in physics that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
  • Law of Inertia states that a body in a state of rest or uniform motion remains in the same state until and unless an external force acts on it.
  • A body continues to be in its state of rest or in uniform motion along a straight line unless an external force is applied on it. This law is also called law of inertia.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
