needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earth’s surface? A. The object’s mass is less on the moon. B. The object’s weight is more on the moon. C. The object’s acceleration due to gravity is less on the moon. D. both a and c

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

  Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height) .

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ? 

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only  16.5 percent as much on the Moon. 
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.

At what phase or phases could water exist at 4.579mm pressure and 0.0098°C?A) solid phase
B) liquid phase
C) solid, liquid and gas phases
D) no phases are present at this point

Answers

The correct answer is A. The water at this conditions is in the solid phase. This can be verified by using a phase diagram. A phase diagram is a figure which shows the phases of a certain substance at a specific temperature and pressure.

Answer:

The answer is C) solid, liquid and gas phases

Explanation:

This point is called the triple point bc solid, liquid, and gas phases can exist together.

Jose has a solid green ball. Which color(s) of light does this ball reflect? A.
blue and yellow

B.
green

C.
all colors except green

D.
white

Answers

If the ball is green, then it is absorbing all the colors of light except green. This means that it is reflecting or denying the absorption of green light, that is why the ball is green. Therefore, your answer would be B.

Hope I helped :)

About 85% sure on this one. 
The ball reflects the green because the ball absorbs all the other colors except green so that's why its the green light is covering it and its absorbing everything else

Answers

1) a = Δv/Δt
a = (32-10)/3
a = 7.33 m/s²

2) a = (0 - 4)/25
a = -0.16 m/s²

3) a = (9.6 - 12) / 0.9
a = -2.7 m/s²

4) a = (9-4)/0.5
a = 10 mi/h²

5) m/s²

What are the scientific method steps and process

Answers

The first step of the scientific method is to observation. It is the step where you research everything you can about your problem.

The second step is to form a hypothesis. It is a general statement based on research and observation.

The third step is to make a prediction. It is what you think the outcome of the experiment will be.

The fourth step is to experiment. This is where you will test your hypothesis.

The fifth step is your conclusion. If your hypothesis was right, then this is the last step. If your hypothesis is incorrect, then you must form a new hypothesis and repeat steps 2-5.

Scientists use the scientific method to make testable explanations and predictions about the world. A scientist asks a question and develops an experiment, or set of experiments, to answer that question.

An object at rest has no net force acting on it.
True or False​

Answers

That’s True bc an unbalanced force would need to keep and object in motion at a constant velocity.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The object is at rest, which means it's not moving, so there is no net force on it, according to Newton's First Law.
