The net gain in potential energy by the crate is 120 J.

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

Potential energy is the energy that an object has stored in it as a result of its position or condition. Potential energy exists in a stretched spring, a book held above your head, and a bicycle on top of a hill. The joule, which is represented by the letter "J," is the standard unit for calculating potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Calculation:</h3>

We use the idea of potential energy, which is given by the equation,

PE = mgh

where,

m = mass of the crate

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height

Given,

mg = 40 N

L = 5 m

angle of inclination, ∅ = 37°

h = L sin∅

h = 5 (sin 37°)

h = 5 (3/5)

h = 3 m

Put the values in the above formula,

PE = mgh

PE = 40 (3)

PE = 120 J

Therefore, the net gain in potential energy by the crate is 120 J.

Does research lessen its value for its being cyclical? Enumerate Two Possible advantages of a cyclical research
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Research usually is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.

This is bad or lessens the value of the research?

No, because there are problems that in nature are cyclical, (for example the related ones to action research).

And it also may be a good thing, solving one "problem" leads to another problem, but in the process of solving the first one we may win a lot of knowledge, and the same happens with the next one, and so on.

Two possible advantages of cyclical research are:

Knowing beforehand that the research will be cyclical, will allow us to estimate better the amount of time and money needed because we already know (more or less) where to aim.

It also may lead to a better end product, as we already know that we must focus in solving one thing and then we can focus in the next one.

Another possible advantage may be that we know that after the work, there will be a new thing to research, and it is fun, so if you are curious enough this may be a good thing (especially in scientific areas, physics, chemistry, etc).

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow a ______ than the front wheels.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Shorter path

Explanation:

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow <u>Shorter path</u> than the front wheels.

Any turning vehicle, the rear(the back part of something, especially a vehicle.) wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle is, the greater the difference will be in path. Trucks initially swing out before making a turn
