This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).
So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .
-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)
-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.
(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)
-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules
(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)
Answer:
A
Explanation:
If the object is moving at a constant speed, the object isn't accelerating as the velocity doesn't change.
Answer:
okay sooo the weight is: 294 n
the normal force is 286 n
the acceleration is: -0.38 m/s²
Answer:
(A) ratio of electric force to weight will be 
(b) Electric field will be 
Explanation:
We have given mass of bee = 100 mg = 
Charge on bee 
Electric field E = 100 N/C
Weight of the bee 
Electric force on the bee 
So the ratio of electric force on the bee and weight is 
(B) To hold the bee in air electric force must be equal to weight of bee
So 


Answer:
Venus and Earth
Explanation:
The force of gravity depends on your mass AND the mass of the planet you stand on. Earth and Venus are about the same size, so they have about the same mass. If you go to Venus, your mass hasn't changed, and the planet mass is almost the same as earth- so the force of gravity on you (AKA your weight) will be the same.
