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.

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.

Charge flows from low potential to high potential.<br> O True<br> or<br> O False
inn [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

A leopard of mass 65kg climbs 7m up a tall tree. Calculate how much gravitational potential energy it gains. Assume g=10N/kg.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 4550 Joules

The formula for potential energy in gravitational field is as follows:

E_{pot} = mgh=65kg \cdot 10 \frac{N}{kg} \cdot 7m = 4550 J

The bending of light as it passes into a transparent material of different optical intensity is known as A. conversion. B. aberr
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>D. refraction</em>

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction is change in direction of light rays. Refraction occurs whenever light rays travels from a transparent medium to another transparent medium of different density. The abrupt change in direction at the surface of the surface of the two media is referred to as <em>refraction</em><em>.</em>

<em>Refraction occurs when light travels from air to glass or from air to liquid.</em>

<em>Laws Of Refraction:</em>

(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal, all at the point of incident lies in the same plane.

(ii) The ratio of the sine of the angle of incident to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

<em>Thus the right option is D. refraction</em>

If a force of 30N is applied to an object of mass 8kg which is kept on a surface, it achieves an acceleration of 3m/s. What is t
Eduardwww [97]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object acting parallel to the surface is

∑ F = F[applied] - F[friction] = (8k g) (3 m/s²)

If F[applied] = 30 N, then

30 N - F[friction] = 24 N   ⇒   F[friction] = 6 N

so the answer is B.
