<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.

Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

Approximately 1.000 g each of four gasses H2, Ne, Ar, and Kr are placed in a sealed container all under1.5 atm of pressure. Assu
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The partial pressure of H2 is 0.375 atm

The partial pressure of Ne is also 0.375 atm

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 1 g

Mass of Ne = 1 g

Mass of Ar = 1 g

Mass of Kr = 1 g

Total mass of gas mixture = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 g

Pressure of sealed container = 1.5 atm

Partial pressure of H2 = (mass of H2/total mass of gas mixture) × pressure of sealed container = 1/4 × 1.5 = 0.375 atm

Partial pressure of Ne = (mass of Ne/total mass of gas mixture) × pressure of sealed container = 1/4 × 1.5 = 0.375 atm

A uniform metre rule of weight 0.9 N is suspended horizontally by two vertical loops of thread A and B placed at 20cm and 30cm f
podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 29 cm

(b) 43.5 cm

Explanation:

(a) when loop A is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 70 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about B:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 70 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 70 cm) = 0

18 Ncm − 2 N (x − 70 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 70 cm) = 18 Ncm

x − 70 cm = 9 cm

x = 79 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 79 cm| = 29 cm.

(b) when loop B is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 20 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about A:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 20 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 20 cm) = 0

-27 Ncm − 2 N (x − 20 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 20 cm) = -27 Ncm

x − 20 cm = -13.5 cm

x = 6.5 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 6.5 cm| = 43.5 cm

katrin [286]
If the car in the opposite direction turns the signal on your vehicle, then it is only likely to give way and let him or her turn before you make your turn because he or she is in the right of way and by doing this, it will prevent any complication from happening and to be able to show respect and politeness in driving.
