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.

Answer:

a)  a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b)  V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c)  V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\

d)  Displacement = 22 m

e)  Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

a)

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore,  acceleration is a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = \frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m

e) Recall that the average of a function between two values is the integral (area under the curve) divided by the length of the interval:

Average velocity = \frac{22}{2} = 11\, \,\frac{m}{s}

How is thermal equilibrium reached? Question 3 options: When both objects have the same temperature When objects have the same m
ollegr [7]

In the thermal equilibrium, the change in temperature is said to be zero in between the bodies. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature.

<h3>What is thermal equilibrium?</h3>

Thermal equilibrium is easily explained by the zeroth law of thermodynamics. If any two-body is at thermal equilibrium there is no change in the temperature of the body.

According to zeroth law if body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B and body B is in thermal equilibrium with C . So body A and C are also in thermal equilibrium.

In the thermal equilibrium, the net heat transfer is said to be zero in between the bodies.

Hence option A IS RIGHT. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature

Carbon has six protons. Which model shows a neutral atom of carbon? ​
MatroZZZ [7]

Explanation:

Neutral carbon-12 (or any carbon atom) has 6 electrons with a total negative charge of 6e- orbiting a nucleus with a total positive charge of 6e+, so that the total net charge is zero. The nucleus is made up of 6 protons, each with a positive charge of e+, and 6 neutrons, each with zero charge.

What is the purpose of the magnetic field in a cathode ray tube?
andre [41]

Answer:

In order to determine if the cathode ray consisted of charged particles, Thomson used magnets and charged plates to deflect the cathode ray. He observed that cathode rays were deflected by a magnetic field in the same manner as a wire carrying an electric current, which was known to be negatively charged.
