Select the correct equations that show that the gravitational potential energy of a 1000-kg boulder raised 6 m above ground level is 60,000 j. (you can express g in units of n/kg because m/s2 is equivalent to n/kg.)

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is defined as:

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the object above a reference level (usually, the ground)

For the boulder in the problem,

m = 1000 kg

g = 10 N/kg

h = 6 m

Substituting,

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
