Answer:

Potential energy = 14.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 1kg

Height, h = 1.5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where, P.E represents 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.

P.E = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have;

P.E = 1*9.8*1.5

P.E = 14.7 Joules.

Explain how we can deduce the temperature of a star by determining its color.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Stars are bright and have the ability to emit lights of various wavelength. The color of a star plays a significant role. It helps us in determining its temperature. It ranges from reddish color to a bluish-white color. A red color star indicates that the star is of low temperature, whereas   a bluish-white star indicates that the star is of high temperature.

A horse performs 2600 joules of work pulling a wagon for 13 seconds. What is the horse's power? 33800 W 200 W 0.005 W 2600 WA ho
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

200 W

Explanation:

The power is given by the ratio between the amount of work done and the time taken to perform the work:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where in this problem we have

W = 2600 J is the work done

t = 13 s is the time taken to do the work

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

P=\frac{2600 J}{13 s}=200 W

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by e. What is the strength of the el
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

At twice the distance, the strength of the field is e/4

Explanation:

F = the strength of an electric field.

F is inversely proportional to the squared distance from the point charge.

mathematically,

F = k(e/d²)

hence, if d is doubled,keeping other forms constant

F = e/4,
