Acceleration is a change in speed or direction over time. In what two ways does the sled accelerate as it descends?

By force and sloppy surface.

Explanation:

By applying force on the sled and slope of the path are the two ways the sled accelerate as it descends. If there is more friction between sled and the ground then force is required to push the sled to move downward while on the other hand, if the path on which sled moves is sloppy then it will move automatically without the use of force, so these two ways can accelerate the sled.

photocells convert light energy to electricity

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.
