You move a 2.5 kg book from a shelf that is 1.2 m above the ground to a shelf that is 2.6 m above the ground. What is the change

in potential energy of a system containing the book and Earth?

The change in potential energy of an object is given by
U=mg \Delta h
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
\delta h is the increase in altitude of the object

In our problem, m=2.5 kg is the mass of the book, g=9.81 m/s^2 and 
\Delta h=2.6 m -1.2 m=1.4 m is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
U=mg\Delta h=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.4 m)=34.3 J

Explain the movement in the sky​
Montano1993 [528]

The motion of planets is separate to the motion of stars. Like everything in the sky, they rise in the east, and set in the west, because of the earth's rotation. But night by night, their position at a given time changes because of their orbit around the sun.

Gases are more prone to expansion and contraction than liquid . The biggest change in the volume in your thermometer was probabl
KiRa [710]

Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.

A ball rolls from x=3.85m to x=22.1m in 5 seconds. What was its average velocity
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Average Velocity = 3.65 m/s

Explanation:

Average Velocity  =\frac{Total   Displacement}{Total     Time} =\frac{22.1-3.85}{5}=\frac{18.25}{5}=3.65
