Options

a. The worker carried the lunch up to the 53rd floor in the elevator.

b. The worker got a ride in a helicopter to the top of the 68-floor building and then carried the lunch down in the elevator to the 53rd floor?

c. The Worker carried it up the stairs to the 53rd floor.

d. Gravitational potential energy does not depend on the path taken.

Answer:

The gravitational Energy would remain the same in all cases.

Explanation:

Gravitational Energy is a conservative energy and its potential energy comes from gravitational actions.

An instance is when someone lifts a weight from the floor to a certain height and then dropped the weight back to the floor; the work done by the field will not be altered at all; it'll be the same throughout.

If otherwise, it'll be against thermodynamics 2nd law of physics because the object would have remaining energy after returning to the starting point,

For this reason, the gravitational potential energy only depends from the height, and is independent from the path taken to reach there.

An example of a measure of the mass of an object would be
atroni [7]

Answer:

Balances and Scales

A balance compares an object with a known mass to the object in question. One example of a balance is the triple beam balance. The standard unit of measure for mass is based on the metric system and is typically denoted as kilograms or grams.

If two equal charges are separated by a certain distance, the force of repulsion is F. Given F1, if each charge in F1 is doubled
Alisiya [41]

Answer:F_2=16\times F_1

Explanation:

Given

Force of repulsion between two charge particle is given by force F

Electrostatic force is given by

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where q_1 and q_2 is the charges  of particle

r=distance between charge particle

=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}when charges are doubled and distance is reduced to half

i.e. q become 2 q and r becomes 0.5 r

F_2=\frac{k(2q)^2}{(0.5r)^2}

F_2=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\times 4\times 4

F_2=16\times F_1
