C. kinetic is correct. Light from the sun heats Earth's atmosphere. When the air becomes warmer, it expands. Kinetic energy it increases to cause this expansion. Picture shows to kinetic energy:

Hope it helped you, and have a great day.

A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. Approximately how m
Alex73 [517]

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

A stone is thrown straight downward with a speed of 20 m/s from the top of a tall building. If the stone strikes the ground 3.0
Lady_Fox [76]
Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?

<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t)  plus  (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>

I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.

initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds

Distance down = (20) x (3)  plus  (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²

Distance = (60)  plus  (4.905) x (9)

Distance = (60)  plus  (44.145)  =  104.145 meters

Choice  <em>D)</em>  is the closest one.

The gravitational self potential energy of a solid ball of mass density ρ and radius R is E. What is the gravitational self pote
Alenkasestr [34]
It will be
E = mgh.
where h and g are constant thus
m can be written as 4/3πr^3*density
E = 4/3πr^3* density
E? = 4/3π(2R)^3* density
= 4/3π8r^3
thus the e will be 4/3π8r^3* density/4/3πr^3*density nd thus you get 8E ..
