What is the relationship between an object’s mass and its gravitational potential energy?.

Physics

Answer:

If we’re talking about objects on the Earth, the gravitational potential energy is given by:

Explanation:

PEg=mgh

so the energy is proportional to the mass ( m ), but also to the strength of the gravitational field ( g ), and the height ( h ) to which the mass is lifted.

A flare is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Neglecting air
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Option B (remain vertically under the plane) is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • A flare would follow a particle trajectory with horizontal direction somewhat like airplane velocity as well as initial maximum motion as null but instead, gravity will induce acceleration. It would be lowered vertically underneath the plane before flare had already sunk to something like the surface.
  • There is no different movement in the airplane nor even the flash. And none of them can change its horizontal level.  

Some other alternatives are given really aren't linked to the specified scenario. So choice B is the perfect solution to that.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

15. Two like charges: A. Attract each other B. Repel each other C. Must be neutrons D. Neutralize each other
seropon [69]

Answer:

B. Repel each other

Explanation:

Two like charges have the same sign. Example an electron with a negative charge (-e) and another electron with same charge(-e). Or a proton with a positive charge (+e) and another proton with same charge (+e). Since each of  these pair charges have the same sign, they will repel each other.

On the other hand, if the charges are opposite, ie  negative charge and positive charge, they will attract each other.

B. Repel each other

What is angle of repose
OverLord2011 [107]

An Angle of Repose is the steepest angle at which a sloping surface formed of a particular loose material is stable, also sometimes used in the design of equipment for the processing of particulate solids. For example, it may be used to design an appropriate hopper or silo to store the material, or to size a conveyor belt for transporting the material.
