The increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

The potential energy increases by 3773 J

PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)

3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)

(h₂-h₁) = 10.98

Case 2 ;

ΔPE =?

ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)

ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98

ΔPE=6031.97 J.

Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.

Heather and Matthew walk with an average velocity of 0.98 m/s eastward. If it takes them 34 min to walk to the store, what is th
TEA [102]

Answer:

D= 1999.2 m

Explanation:

Given that

Average velocity ,v= 0.98 m/s

time ,t= 34 min

We know that

1 min  = 60 s

That is why

t= 34 x 60 =2040 s

We know that

Displacement = Average velocity x time

D= v t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

D= 0.98 x 2040 m

D= 1999.2 m (eastward)

The direction of the displacement will be towards eastward.

That is why the displacement will be 1999.2 m or we can say that 1.9992 km.

A worker pushes a crate horizontally across a warehouse floor with a force of 245 N at an angle of 55 degrees below the horizont
aev [14]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

For exerted by the worker = 245 N

angle made with horizontal = 55°

we need to calculate Force which is not used to move the crate = ?

Movement of crate is due to the horizontal component of the force.

Crate will not move due to vertical force acting on the it.

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 245\times sin 55^0

F_y =200.69

hence, worker's force not used to move the crate is equal to 200.69

The correct answer is option A
