The gravitational potential energy is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object to the height and the gravitational acceleration which is 9.8 m/s^2. We do as follows:

GPE = mgh
GPE = 4942
4942 = m (9.8)(6.15)
m = 82 kg 

Hope this helps.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The gas being collected is probably Oxygen

Explanation:

Plants produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis by utilizing carbon monoxide, a by-product produced by humans during the process of breathing. Humans also breathe in the oxygen ( by-product of photosynthesis) produced by the plants. Therefore, humans and plants live in a symbiotic relationship.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. Sunlight is used as a energy source. Photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct.

At low temperatures, between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius – the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis do not work efficiently, and this decreases the photosynthetic rate.

At medium temperature above 10 degrees Celsius to below 40 degrees Celsius (e.g 27 degrees Celsius), the photosynthetic enzymes work at their optimum levels, so photosynthesis proceeds.

At a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius, the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis lose their shape and functionality, and the photosynthetic rate declines rapidly.

Equation for photosynthesis reaction:

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) = C6H12O6 + 6O2

Identical guns fire identical bullets horizontally at the same speed from the same height above level planes, one on the Earth a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

I. The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is greater for the Moon.

II. The flight time is less for the bullet on the Earth.

Explanation:

Horizontal distance depends on the initial speed, height and gravity. Bullets have the same initial speed and are shot from the same height. In these conditions horizontal distance only depends on gravity, which is inversely proportional. Therefore, the less gravity the greater the horizontal distance. Gravity slows bullet and causes its impact on the ground. Since gravity is greater in Earth, the bullet hits faster on the earth.
