Question 11 (1 point)

Physics

Answer:

gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth surface.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where,

G.P.E represents gravitational potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

This ultimately implies that, anytime there is height, the object must have gravitational potential energy.

Hence, an object possesses gravitational potential energy due to its height (position) and the earth's gravitational force.

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 31.0 m/s and lands 156.3 m from the base of a ramp how high is th
BartSMP [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of ramp = 124.694 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using second equation of motion,

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

From the question,

u = 31 m/s; s = 156.3 m, a=0

substituting values

156.3 = 31\times t + 0

t = \frac{156.3}{31 }

= 5.042 s

Similary, for the case of landing

t = 5.042 s; initial velocity, u =0

acceleration = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting in h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times (5.042)^2

h = 124.694 m

So height of ramp = 124.694 m

Why type of energy is present after a solar panel changes forms?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.
