A box is sliding up an incline that makes an angle of 14.0° with respect to the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the incline is 0.180. the initial speed of the box at the bottom of the incline is 2.20 m/s. how far does the box travel along the incline before coming to rest?
Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg
Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
To find: The change in potential energy of the stone
Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh
where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone
Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)
or, = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)
or, = 4.9 J
Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

The Scenario:
On a normal Sunday afternoon Mr. Golanski is sitting in his living room reading his book. He decides after a while to turn on the Television to see what’s on the news, (Mr. Golanski is using Radio waves when he turns his television on by signaling the TV from his remote control). After a few hours Mr. Golanski decides it’s time to have dinner. He heats up a quick meal in his microwave because he doesn’t have the patience for cooking. (He is using microwave radiation to heat his food because water molecules in food absorb the radiation). He sits down for his meal, and halfway through he starts to choke! In a panicked frenzy he runs to his bathroom to try and dislodge the obstacle from his throat. By doing so he switched on the fluorescent lights in his bathroom exposing himself to small amounts of ultraviolet radiation. (Fluorescent lights absorb UV radiation and transmit visible light along with small amounts of UV light). Unable to dislodge the obstacle from his throat Mr. Golanski seeks help from his neighbor who drives him straight to the ER. To treat him properly the physicians opt for a fluoroscopy to examine Mr. Golanski’s esophageal tract. (Thus he is making use of X-ray imaging to obtain a visual of his internal esophageal structure to check for the obstruction). Once treated and discharged from the hospital Mr. Golanski returns home grateful to have survived this ordeal with minimum damage.
Explanation:
The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies and wavelengths for different light waves. They range with increasing frequency from Radio waves, to Microwaves, to Infrared waves, to Visible waves, to Ultraviolet waves, to Infrared waves, to X-rays, and to Gamma rays. Several of which we use in our daily lives such as Radio waves when operating our television or using our cellular phones. We also use microwaves to heat our food or for communication with satellites. We are also exposed to natural Ultraviolet radiation from the sun; however, we can also get exposed to other forms such as from certain types of light bulbs. We see visible light in the form of all the colors we can detect around us. We make use of x-rays for imaging techniques widely used in medicine for diagnostics, as well as Infrared waves in our home security systems. The electromagnetic spectrum is always used as a part of our everyday life.
Number of miles that marker shows when passes through town= 160 miles.
Number of miles that marker shows currently to John = 115 miles.
We need to find the distance between town and John's current location.
For the problem, we can clearly see that Town is at 160 miles away but when John passes the marker shows 115 miles.
So, it's just the difference between 160 miles and 115 miles.
In order to find that difference, we need to subtract those two numbers.
160miles - 115miles = 45 miles.
So, we could say the distance between town and John's current location is 45 miles.
