<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.

If chilled coke and hot tea are kept together tea cools down but coke gets warm .why?​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

When hot tea is mixed to chilled coke, tea loses heat and coke gains heat. Thus, tea cools down but coke gets heated. Because it is liquid and liquid does not totally cool down to the ambient temperature, it and the iced drink will eventually reach the same temperature.
