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.

stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

a=-g-c_Dv^2

where \ddot{y}=a

\dot{y}=v

Also acceleration is given by

a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}

ds=\frac{v}{a}dv

\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv

\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t

-0.001\times 2vdv=dt

vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}

at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2

t=-g-2.5

at v=0,\ t=-g

\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}

\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}

s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}

s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})

s=113.608\ m

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}

h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}

h=127.55\ m

Which statement about the physical properties of matter is true? (15)
Maslowich

Answer:

Psisical properties used to be considered the properties that can be modified by phisical means. New theories state that chemical properties of matter are interrelated to the phisical ones

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50
horsena [70]
It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?
AlladinOne [14]
The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
