Answer: 294J

Explanation:

U_g=mg(y_f-y_i)

U_g=(15)(9.8)(2-0)=294J

Answer:

294.3 J

Explanation:

U = mgh

U = energy

m = mass

g = gravity

h = height

so

U = 15kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2m

294.3 J (joules) [kg *m^2/s^2]

How are dwarf planets different from true planets?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has.

Explanation:

the three criteria of the IAU for a full-sized planet are: It is in orbit around the Sun. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit .

A 16-slug mass is raised by 10 ft. the PE of the mass increased by?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

<em>The PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

It's the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

We are given the mass of m=16 slug raised by a height h=10 ft. Both units will be converted to SI standard:

1 slug = 14.59 Kg, thus

16 slug = 16*14.59 Kg=233.44 Kg

1 ft = 0.3048 m, thus:

10 ft = 10*0.3048 m = 3.048 m

Thus, the PE of the mass increased by:

U = 233.44 * 9.8 * 3.048 = 6,972.95 J

the PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J

Describe how an increase in humidity can affect the water cycle
anastassius [24]

An increase in humidity can strengthen the water cycle, because humidity is essentially boosted evaporation. When you have evaporation, that comes automatically with condensation and precipitation, so rain and cloud cover increases.
