A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v

0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small.
(a) W is the amount work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight.

W =
−mgh


For a conservative force, how does the work done by the force compare to the change in potential energy associated with the force?

Answer:

a)   W = m g h , b)     W / U = 1

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

        W = F. dy

in this case the force of gravity goes down and the displacement of the particle is down, so the two are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        W = F y

strength is the weight of the body

         F = m g

        W = m g h

where h is the distance the body descends

b) the only force acting on the body is the weight of the work and we calculated them in part a, the potential energy is

     U = m g h

to compare the two magnitudes of let's find their relationship

    W / U = mgh / mgh

    W / U = 1

Which describes what an outside observer at rest would observe about a spaceship that speeds up and approaches the speed of ligh
Art [367]
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.

At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.

They would both be measuring what they see correctly.

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has
Vikentia [17]
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.
