Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J

What is the weight in Newtons of a ball with a mass of 7.77 kg?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

76.1N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 7.77kg

Unknow:

Weight of balloon  = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force applied on a body.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due gravity

So;

  Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

 Weight  = 7.77 x 9.8  = 76.1N

In a binary-star system that produces a nova, the white dwarf pulls matter from the companion star. The matter forms an accretio
Studentka2010 [4]

As a head-up, it is important to notice that a white dwarf only shines thanks to the stored energy and light, because a white dwarf doesn't have any hydrogen left to perform nuclear fusion.

Now the process:

First, the white dwarf accumulates all the extracted matter from its companion, onto its own surface. This extra matter increases the white dwarf's temperature and density.

After a while, the star reaches about 10 million K, so nuclear fusion can begin. The hydrogen that has been "stolen" from the other star and accumulated in the white dwarf's surface it's used for the fusion, dramatically increasing the star's brightness for a short time, causing what we know as a Nova.

As this fuel its quickly burnt out or blown into space, the star goes back to its natural white dwarf state. Since the white dwarf nor the companion star are destroyed in this process, it can happen countless of times during their lifespan.
