Answer:

It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.

The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.

Using this formula Vj = V; + at, If a vehicle starts from rest

Furkat [3]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration</u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

$v_f=v_o+a.t$

Where:

vf = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a = Constant acceleration

t = Elapsed time

The vehicle starts from rest (vo=0) and accelerates at a=4.5 m/s2 for t=8 seconds. The final speed is:

$v_f=0+4.5*8$

$v_f=36\ m/s$

The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s

Gasoline burns in the cylinder of an automobile engine. During the combustion reaction, the production of gas forces the piston

serg [7]

Answer:

$\Delta U = 1640 J$

Explanation:

As we know by first law of thermodynamics that for ideal gas system we have

Heat given = change in internal energy + Work done

so here we will have

Heat given to the system = 2.2 kJ

Q = 2200 J

also we know that work done by the system is given as

$W = 560 J$

so we have

$\Delta U = Q - W$

$\Delta U = 2200 - 560$

$\Delta U = 1640 J$

How permeable and porous would an aquifer be?

salantis [7]

Answer: An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move. Aquifers must be both permeable and porous and include such rock types as a sandstone.

Explanation: However, if these rocks are highly fractured, they make good aquifers.
