zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

mart [117]

According to the condensation theory, the most important factor for the formation of our planets was "the interstellar dust attracting heat away from the protosun".


Condensation is the procedure by which water particles noticeable all around bunch together and shape fluid water. This is regularly observed outwardly of cold glasses. This idea additionally identifies with the solar system.

The condensation theory of the solar system expresses that our solar system, and perhaps all other galaxies, were shaped from a cloud of residue and gas that consolidated into strong issue. Space experts trust that the littlest grains of residue in our cloud applied a draw on the gas about it, 'consolidating' into bigger and bigger bits of issue, similarly as a snowball moving downhill will become bigger and bigger. In the long run, the gravitational draw of these residue atoms was sufficiently solid that they started to pull in each other, developing into greater and greater clusters that had more grounded gravitational pulls. In the long run, these bunches of residue and gas from the cloud frame a star, and potentially planets, space rocks, and comets turning about the star.

Darius' boat sails into the harbor with a speed of 80m/s. After 20 seconds, Darius' boat has come to a stop at the dock. What is
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.

Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)

Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs

Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²
