6 0

Answer:

The GPE, stored is 640 Joules

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The given mass of the astronaut, m = 80 kg

The height of the top of the lunar lander to which the astronaut climbs, h = 5 m

The gravity strength on the moon, g = 1.6 N/kg

The Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE, stored is given according to the following equation;

GPE stored = m·g·h

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

GPE Stored = 80 kg × 1.6 N/kg × 5 m = 640 Joules

The GPE, stored = 640 Joules.

The energy from light is used by plants to oxidize which molecule?
Natasha2012 [34]
Photoautotrophs use light energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. This process is called photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs extract energy from inorganic compounds by oxidizing them and use this chemical energy, rather than light energy, to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds

(b) The output current of the generator is 2.0A. The output potential difference (p.d.) of the
Luden [163]

Answer:

P = 22 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

The output power of the generator = 2 a

The output potential difference = 11 V

We need to find the output power of the generator. The formula for the output power is given by :

P=V\times I\\\\P=11\times 2\\\\P=22\ W

So, the output power of the generator is equal to 22 Watts.

What will be the average velocity of a body falling in free fall on Earth for 3 s?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

29.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      v  = u + gt

v is the average velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

So;

        v  = 0 + (9.8 x 3)  = 29.4m/s

20. Which statement is false? Rewrite it so that it is true. a. Fusion involves the combination of two smaller atoms into a larg
Annette [7]

Answer:

c. Fission and fusion are two processes that release very little amounts of energy.

Explanation:

This statement is false. In fact, both fission and fusion are processes which release very large amounts of energy. The statement can be rewritten as it is true as follows:

"Fission and fusion are two processes that release very large amounts of energy."

Fission occurs when a large nucleus break apart, splitting into smaller nuclei, while fusion occurs when two light nuclei combine together into a larger nucleus. In both cases, the mass of the reactants is larger than the mass of the final products, so some of the mass has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's equation:

E = \Delta m c^2

where

E is the energy released

\Delta m is the mass lost in the process

c is the speed of light

Since c is a very large number (c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s), we see that even a very small mass \Delta m causes the released of a huge amount of energy, so both fission and fusion release large amounts of energy.
