Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

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

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result
mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

   s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

Is gas matter? How do you know? Hint: Remember there are 2 things we need to be considered matter.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)

     <em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>

<em>       Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>
