Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A guy wire helping to stabilize a transmitting tower 500 m high makes in angle of 50° with the ground. In a strong wind, the tow
timurjin [86]

They give us the cable tension t = 1500 newton. We assume that the mass of the cable is negligible compared to that of the tower.

We have a force t of 1500 Newton. This force has a vertical component on the y axis and a horizontal component on the x axis.

Of these two components of force, we are especially interested in calculating is the magnitude of the vertical component.

If the angle that it forms with the ground is 50 °, then the vertical component of the force is:

Fy = 1500sin (50)

Fy = 1149 N. <1200 N

Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.
