an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple

Physics

The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

The weight of an object is the force generated by Earth's gravity accelerating the object's _________. distance mass time destin
julsineya [31]
The weight of an object is the force of gravity between Earth's
mass and the object's mass.

The forces of gravity always come in equal, opposite pairs. 
The Earth's weight on the object is the same as the object's
weight on the Earth, and when the object falls to Earth, Earth
falls to the object.

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

Which landform is produced at location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of
mixer [17]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

The landform produced at the location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico is a delta.

A delta is a depositional landform where a smaller body of water enters into a larger one.

The Gulf of Mexico contains a larger body of water and as the Mississippi river enters into it, it splits up into many distributaries.

So, this feature is a delta.
