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 light wave is traveling straight up out of the ocean then moves out into the air how do you expect the movement of the light w
Mariulka [41]
If the light is traveling straight up, then it hits the interface (surface
or boundary) between water and air perpendicularly (90° to the surface).

This direction is the direction of the 'normal' to the surface.  So the
angle of incidence is zero, and that means the angle of refraction is
also zero.  The light just keeps going in the same direction when it
emerges into the air, and is not bent.

However, its speed increases in air, and that means its wavelength
also becomes longer than it was in the water.

How is a front defined in terms of weather ?. A) the leading edge of an anticyclone flow. B) the trailing edge of a warm front.
Svetllana [295]
A front is defined as a "boundary" that separates two masses of different air densities. I am not entirely sure, but I think the answers are either C or D, but I'm mostly convinced it's option D.
