Answer: 1
an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.
Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field
I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2
Answer:
wendy can travel 147 km in 3 hr if the speed is costant
This question is checking to see whether you understand the meaning
of "displacement".
Displacement is a vector:
-- Its magnitude (size) is the distance between the start-point and
the end-point, no matter what route might have been followed along
the way.
-- Its direction is the direction from the start-point to the end-point.
Talking about the Earth's orbit around the sun, we can forget about
the direction of the displacement, and just talk about its magnitude
(size).
If we pretend that the sun is not moving and dragging the whole
solar system along with it, then what do we see the Earth doing
in one year ?
We mark the place where the Earth is at the stroke of midnight
on New Year's Eve. Then we watch it as it swings around through
this gigantic orbit, all the way around the sun, and in a year, it's back
to the same point that we marked !
So what's the magnitude of the displacement in exactly one year ?
It's the distance between the start-point and the end-point. But the
Earth came back to the same place it started from, so there's no
separation at all between the start-point and the end-point.
The Earth covered a huge distance in that year, but the displacement
is zero.
