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 fridge has a maximum static friction force
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

They will move the fridge if they all push in the same direction, but it will not move with constant velocity

Explanation:

The maximum static friction force is

F_f = -250 N (negative sign since its direction is opposite to the push applied by the people)

Sam can apply a force of 130 N, while Amir and Andre can apply a push of 65 N each, so the total force that they can apply, if they push in the same direction, will be:

F=130 + 65 +65=260 N

This force is larger than the frictional force, so the fridge will start moving.

However, the net force on the fridge will be:

\sum F = 260 N - 250 N = 10 N

And according to Newton's second law,

\sum F = ma

where m is the mass of the fridge and a its acceleration, since the net force is not zero, then the fridge will have a non-zero acceleration, so it will not move with constant  velocity.

The work function for a metal surface is 4.98 eV. What is the largest wavelength of light in nm that will produce photoelectrons
bulgar [2K]

Answer:\lambda =248.99 nm

Explanation:

Given

Work function\left ( \phi \right )=4.98\approx 1.602\times 10^{-19}\times 4.98

h=6.626\times 10^{-34} J

c=2.998\times 10^8

\phi =\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{\phi }

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 2.998\times 10^8}{4.98\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}}

\lambda =248.99 nm

If you pull up on a bucket with a tension force of 15 N and the bucket has a weight of 15 N, what is the net force acting on the
fredd [130]

Answer:

F = 0 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must perform a summation of forces in the direction of the vertical axis. Where the positive force is that of the tension of the upward force, while the force exerted by the weight is directed downward with a negative sign.

ΣF = 0

15 - 15 + F = 0

F = 0 [N]

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

C)focusing on one goal at a time

Explanation:

Self-modification programs could be regarded as a program that help individual in managing unwanted as well as dysfunctional behavioral responses whenever they are going through a problem and try to deal with it. For instance the dysfunctional behavioral response for someone with a panic attack is avoidance. Some of the the steps that are involved in in a self-modification program are;

✓ specifying target behavior ✓designing a program

✓ gathering data about target behavior
