Answer:

<h2>156.8 J</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 2 × 9.8 × 8 = 156.8

We have the final answer as

<h3>156.8 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa

Remove heat \Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

dU=Q-W...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

dU=Q-PdV

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))

dU=-17746.78\ J

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

What makes the planets gravity?

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

If a girl carries groceries up a flight of stairs, is she doing work on the groceries? Explain.​
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes she is doing work. With or without the groceries, she is still doing work. She does more work with the groceries than without because Work is defined by F which is defined by mass. The mass increases with the groceries.

The work done is against the force of gravity.
