Answer: B 19.6J

Explanation: The equation for Potential energy is PE=mgh

PE is the potential energy

m=Mass=0.4kg

g=Gravity=9.81m/s^{2}

h=Height=5 metres

(0.4 kg)*(9.81m/s^{2})*(5 metres)=19.62J

53. A recently discovered planet has a mass four times as great as Earth's and a radius twice as large as Earth's. What will be
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

g' = g = 9.81 m/s^2

so gravity will be same as that of surface of earth

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration due to gravity is given as

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

here we have

M = 4M_e

R = 2R_e

we know that for earth we have

g = 9.81 = \frac{GM_e}{R_e^2}

now if the radius and mass is given as above

g' = \frac{G(4M_e)}{(2R_e)^2}

g' = \frac{GM_e}{R_e^2}

g' = g = 9.81 m/s^2

so gravity will be same as that of surface of earth

Clothes in a dryer acquire static cling by
Gnoma [55]
<span>The answer is friction. The force acting upon the comparative motion of solid surfaces, liquid layers, and material elements sliding in contradiction of each other. When sides in contact move comparative to each other, the friction amid the two surfaces changes kinetic energy into thermal energy; in other words work to heat. </span>

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.
oee [108]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two  waves and are normally transverse in nature.
