<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

What is the mass of an object that experiences a gravitational force of 510 N near Earth's surface?
sineoko [7]

Answer:The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Explanation:

Gravitational force on the object ,F=510 N

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Mass of the object = m

Force = mass × acceleration

510 N=m\times 9.8 m/s^2

m=52.04 kg\approx 52 kg

The mass of an object is 52 kg.

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

How to convert acceleration to velocity.
Nana76 [90]

You can't. Velocity and acceleration measure two different things, so their units are incompatible. It's like asking, "How many meters does this book weigh?"

Maybe you mean "find" acceleration using given velocities, or a velocity function?

Se golpea una pelota de golf de manera que su velocidad inicial forma un ángulo de 45° con la horizontal. La pelota alcanza el s
nordsb [41]

Answer:

42m/s

6.06s

Explanation:

To find the initial velocity and time in which the ball is fling over the ground you use the following formulas:

x_{max}=\frac{v_o^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\\x_{max}=vt_{max}

θ: angle = 45°

vo: initial velocity

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

x_max: max distance = 180 m

t_max: max time

by replacing the values of the parameters and do vo the subject of the first formula you obtain:

v_o=\sqrt{\frac{gx_{max}}{sin(2\theta)}}\\\\v_o=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^2)(180m)}{sin(2(45\°))}}=42\frac{m}{s}

with this value of vo you calculate the max time:

t_{max}=\frac{x_{max}}{v}=\frac{x_{max}}{v_ocos(45\°)}\\\\t_{max}=\frac{180m}{(42m/s)cos(45\°)}=6.06s

hence, the initial velocity of the ball is 42m/s and the time in which the ball is in the air is 6.06s

TRANSLATION:

Para encontrar la velocidad inicial y el tiempo en el que la pelota está volando sobre el suelo, use las siguientes fórmulas:

θ: ángulo = 45 °

vo: velocidad inicial

g: constante gravitacional = 9.8m / s ^ 2

x_max: distancia máxima = 180 m

t_max: tiempo máximo

reemplazando los valores de los parámetros y haciendo el tema de la primera fórmula que obtiene:

con este valor de vo usted calcula el tiempo máximo:

por lo tanto, la velocidad inicial de la pelota es de 42 m / sy el tiempo en que la pelota está en el aire es de 6.06 s
