Answer:

4. decreases by the magnitude of the amount of work gravity does on the bug as it drops

Explanation:

Potential energy increases the higher it gets from it's starting point. For this question the starting point would be the bush and the bug is a certain point above it so it has a lot of potential energy. The gravitational potential energy decreases as it drops and gets closer to the leaf on the bush.

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?
Tems11 [23]
Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.

The sun’s energy hits earth’s surface at the most direct angle at which locations?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

at the Equator

Explanation:

The four seasons are determined by four main positions in the Earth's orbit in its turn around the Sun (ecliptic plane), which are called solstices and equinoxes: winter solstice (Capricorn point, December 22), spring equinox (Aries point, around March 21-22), summer solstice (Cancer point, June 21) and autumn equinox (Libra point, around September 22-23).

In the equinoxes, the axis of rotation of the Earth is perpendicular to the sun's rays, which fall vertically over the equator. In solstices, the axis is inclined 23.5º, so that the sun's rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer (summer in the northern hemisphere) or Capricorn (summer in the southern hemisphere).

When falling vertically on Ecuador, it generates a greater impact on the surface of the Tierre reaching a greater amount of energy and therefore UV rays.
