Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi
tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the  current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

The mass of a truck with its cargo is 1800 kg. The truck is coasting to the right with a speed of 10 m/s. As it coasts its cargo
OverLord2011 [107]

Here we apply conservation of linear momentum. The momentum of the truck with cargo and without cargo remains constant. That is,

mv=m'v'.

Here m,v are initial mass and velocity. m',v' are final mass and velocity. Here m=1800,v=10 and m'=1800-300=1500.

The velocity of the truck be after its cargo is taken off is

v'=\frac{mv}{m'} \\  v'=\frac{1800*10}{1500} \\  v'=12 m/s
