Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g
gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

U = mgH

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)

U = 9653.04 J

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

Which statements describe features that maps and globes share? Check all that apply.
leonid [27]

Maps and Globes share the following features:

Both are scale Models.

Explanation:

A globe is a scale model of the Earth that presents the most accurate depiction of geographic information such as area, distance, and direction.

A map is a two dimensional representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface, or a part of it, on a flat surface, according to a scale. Thus it is also a scale model.

A globe differs from a map. It is a three dimensional sphere representing the whole Earth.

A map is usually used to represent a specific part of the Earth and is used for Navigation. It has details and symbols. However, a globe can not be used for such details.

A globe can be used to get a broad-level picture of the world.

Keywords: geography, earth, maps, globes
