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.

8 The diagram shows four identical spheres placed between two wooden blocks on a ruler.
enyata [817]

The diameter of the sphere is 2cm.

<h3>How to calculate the diameter?</h3>

From the diagram, the first sphere on the ruler is at 4cn and the last sphere is at 12cm.

Therefore, the length will be:

= 12 - 4.

= 8cm

The diameter of one sphere will be:

= Length / 4

= 8/4

= 2

Therefore, the diameter of the sphere is 2cm.

Note that the second question wasn't found online.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is "telescopes".

Explanation:

Throughout ancient times, astronomical observatories have indeed been available, and so many historical locations were reserved for astronomical observations. All contemporary astronomers lacked within those older telescopes were lenses until 1610. A telescope is indeed an instrument used to view far-off objects. Telescopes often are being used to look at planets and stars.

A carriage of 20 kg is pulled with a force of 35 N. How far the carriage will go
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

2.71 m

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

F=m*a

Work done is the product of force and distance

Work done=F*d

In this case;

F= 35 N

Work done = 95 J

95 =35 * d

95 /35 = d

2.71 m= d

. If measurements of a gas are 75L and 300 kilopascals and then the gas is measured a second time and found to be 50L, describe
julia-pushkina [17]
By Boyle's law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

300*75 = P<span>₂*50

</span>P<span>₂*50= 300*75
</span>
P<span>₂ = 300*75/50 = 450
</span>
P<span>₂ = 450 kiloPascals.

The pressure has increased as a result of compression of gas.

Boyle's Law supports this observation.</span>
