Answer:

In Newtonian mechanics, the gravitational energy possessed by a mass, because of the gravitational field produced by a second mass.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:
A) object moves 20 N [West] or -20 N [East]
B) object moves 6 N [South] or -6 N [North]
C) object moves 90 N [West] or -90 N [East]
D) object does not move and is at rest*

*Rest means 0


Why:

A)both forces from north and south that are pushing against the object neutralize each other. Assume that north is positive and south is negative: 20 [N] + (-20) [S] = 0
On West and east, you can see that west has a greater force. Assume that west is negative and east is positive: 50 [E] + (-70) [W] = -20 [E]

What are the conditions of the thermonuclear fusion reaction in the sun?​
Verizon [17]

High temperature gives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin (approximately six times hotter than the sun's core).

Please help with this question.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

41.16 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy at a given instant is a function of mass and height of an object. The formula is

E_p = mgh = 2.80kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.50m = 41.16 J
