A ball is drop from the top of a building. You choose the top of the building to be the reference level while your friend choose

the bottom. Explain wether the energy calculates using these two reference level is the same or different for the following situations

KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Based on the references, the calculated potential energy is the same if the reference used is the same or different.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is the energy at rest in body.

The change in potential energy is given as:

    ΔE  = E₂ - E₁

E₂ is the final potential energy and E₁ is the initial potential energy.

Since when the body comes to rest after falling through a height, the final potential energy is 0.

The change in potential energy does not depend on the reference.

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A

Why might exposing astronauts to weightlessness be harmful?
love history [14]
The body doesn't have to work as hard when there's no gravity for it to work against, so it becomes accustomed to a much lower work load on every level. It leads to lower bone mass and weaker muscles, including the heart, leading to a drop in blood pressure that can eventually build up to create problems with cognitive function. After so long, minor accidents can lead to major, even life threatening problems. A simple bump that would do little more than leave a bruise on you and I can result in a broken femur bone or broken neck on an astronaut who has been exposed to a weightless environment for too long.

This is one of the several hurdles that must be overcome in order for a manned mission to Mars to succeed. Exposure to a weightless environment on the order of roughly two years for a manned Mars mission would be so degrading to the body that the rough, turbulent re-entry into Earth's atmosphere might prove to be too violent for an astronaut to survive.

The problem is bones.

On Earth, every time you do something with "impact" (like walking), there are microcracks in your bones. Calcium is used by the body to fix these cracks... and that is how the bones grow and become strong.

No weight = no impact = no cracks = no "repairs" being done by the body = the body gets rid of un-neede calcium and bones become brittle and weak.

There are some other operations in the body that require gravity as a "director", or resistance to movement as a driver of change (think of muscles in the legs, when there is no need to walk).

The organ themelves are (generally) OK since many things can work in any orientation.
