The answer would be D because potential is the opposite of kinetic and kinetic is movement speed(<span>energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) and the higher somthing gets the more total energy something has but there is no kinetic energy in it yet so that is the potential energy being maxed out.

ill send you a message with more info

Answer:

a paint can being carried up a ladder

Explanation:

Potential energy of an object is defined as:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the object measured above a reference point

From the formula, we see that the potential energy of an object increases if the height h increase, so if the object is moved upwards.

Among the choices provided, only the last one:

a paint can being carried up a ladder

describes an object whose heigth h is increased: therefore, in this situation, the potential energy of the object increases.

Answer: False, the factors that can affect the weight are the mass of the planet and the radius of the planet.

Explanation:

First, we can write the weight as:

W = m*g

where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration.

For example. g in the Earth is 9.8m/s^2, and g on Mars is 3.71 m/s^2, so you will weight more in Earth than on Mars, and Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so the statement is false.

Now, the gravitational acceleration depends primarily on the mass of the planet, this is because the gravitational force between two objects can be written as:

F = G*M*m/r^2

Where M is the mass of the planet, and m is your mass and r is the distance between you and the planet, if you are in the surface, r is the radius of the planet.

Here we can see that planets with more mass and smaller radius (more density) have the strongest gravitational force on any object near them.

 15cm3 block of gold weighs  2.8N it is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. one cm3 of mercury weight 0.!3n a will the mer
NNADVOKAT [17]
You have said that 15cm³ of gold weighs 2.8N.  So I may infer that each cm³
of gold weighs about 0.19N.  When I compare that figure with the 0.13N per cm³
of mercury, it becomes immediately apparent that the gold is more dense than
mercury. Therefore, the sample of gold, no matter what its size or weight, will
displace its total volume of mercury, and will go on to sink entirely beneath the
waves in the mercury.

If the average velocity of a duck is zero in a given time interval, what can you say about the displacement of the duck for that
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Also 0

Explanation:

Since average speed of an object is that object's displacement over a unit of time, when an average speed is 0, its displacement over a unit of time must also be 0. When an average speed is not 0, then its displacement over a unit of time is also not 0 for that interval.
