Two children are at opposite ends of an aluminium rod. One strikes the end of the rod with a stone. Find the ratio of times taken by the sound-wave in air and
in aluminium to reach the second child. (Take velocity of sound in aluminium as
6420 m s-1 and in air as 346 m s- at 25°C.)​

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

a=d/t

a="triangle"v/t

explanation:

a = acceleration

i do.

explanation:

i want to explore the wonders of the universe and find out if there really is life out there. i think the universe is beautiful.
