Potential energy relative to the surface is

         (mass) x (<span>acceleration due to gravity) x (height above the surface).

At 1.0 meter above the surface, that is

</span>          (mass) x (<span>acceleration due to gravity) x (1.0 meter) .

The object's mass doesn't change, so the only thing that has any effect
on its potential energy at 1 meter above the surface is the acceleration
of gravity or, in other words, the surface of <em><u>what</u></em> ?

A e limb of mass 12kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 27 N of froce on the limb as it falls, what is the net force
Gelneren [198K]
During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.

So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force

HELP I NEED THIS ANSWERED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WITCHER [35]

Displacement is d  


Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d  


(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d  


-19.6 d = 300  


d = -15.3 m  


negative means lower


time is t  


d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²



-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²



4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0  


t = 3.06 s

Hope this helps -John
