Question

1. the type of energy as a result of position of an object is (a) kinetic energy (b) chemical energy (c) potential energy (d) mechanical energy (e) position energy (f) none of the above 22. the gravitational force with which the earth attracts the moon (a) is less than the force with which the moon attracts the earth. (b) is the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth. (c) is more than the force with which the moon attracts the earth. (d) varies with the phase of the moon.

Explanation:

For question 21, potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. For question 22, according to Newton's third - law of motion, the gravitational force between two objects is an action - reaction pair. So the force with which the Earth attracts the moon is the same as the force with which the moon attracts the Earth.

Answer:

1. c. potential energy
2. b. is the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth.
