By measuring the potential energy of an object relative to the ground, and the object's mass, you can calculate its speed when i

t hits the ground. Explain why you can do this.
A.because gravitational potential energy can convert to elastic potential energy
B.because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy
C.because the gravitational potential energy can convert to sound energy
D.because gravitational potential energy can convert to electric potential energy

Answer:

B.because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy

Explanation:

You can calculate the speed as it hits the ground because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy.

In this way, total energy can be conserved.

  • We can equate the kinetic energy and potential energy.
  • From this we can solve for the velocity.
  • This way, we know that the potential energy is changing to kinetic energy.

How can astronomers infer approximately how long the universe has been expanding?
Jlenok [28]
Not only astronomers, but all scientists use the technique of rock dating to determine the age of the universe. From the Big Bang Theory, all the celestial bodies were made at the same time. So, the age of the Earth is just the same with the age of the universe. So, they gather rocks deep down in the crust of the Earth and let it undergo radioactive decay. By determining the amount of radioactive material left and half-life, they could compute the age of the Earth.
