Answer: When you squeeze a mattress, and you release it, you can see that return to the original shape. So, when you are squeezing it, the mattress "want" to return to the original shape. The mattress does it by storing elastic energy, and when you stop squeezing it, uses the elastic energy to return to the original shape.

so the energy stored is elastic energy.

2) if it is thrown - it's motion is caused by gravitation force + force you applied to though it upwards

Why are some areas in Europe seeing a partial solar eclipse while others are observing a total solar eclipse?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Objects between the source and observer produce possible shadows known as the umbra and the penumbra.

The umbra is a totally shadowed area, no light travels directly from the source to the observer.

The penumbra is a partially shadowed are where some of the source light travels directly to the observer an some of the source light is blocked from the observer (the object blocking the light is not a point object).

The question apparently refers to the differences seen by the observers.

To measure the height of a building without a ruler or tape measure, an engineer drops a rock off the top of the building and fi
serg [7]

The relevant equation we can use in this problem is:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where h is height, v0 is initial velocity, t is time, g is gravity

 

Since it was stated that the rock was drop, so it was free fall and v0 = 0, therefore:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 m/s^2 * (4.9 s)^2

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The earth makes in  365 day 1 revolution

The earth makes in 1 day     1 / 365 revolutions

1 / 365 revolution per day

n = 1 / 365 per day .

n is called frequency of revolutions .

Angular velocity = 2π n

= 2 π x 1 / 365

= .0172 radian / day
