Explanation:
Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force
Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question
a) attached below
b) V = 0.336 ft/s
Explanation:
Elongation ( Xo) = 16/ 7 feet
mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds
medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity
<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>
The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo
Wo = 3.741 s^-1
attached below is a detailed solution of the question
The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.
Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics
"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."
It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
