How does the work needed to lift an object and the gravitational potential energy of an object compare

Physics
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
8 0

When you do work to lift the object, the amount of work you do BECOMES the object's gravitational potential energy.  It GETS its potential energy from the work you do to lift it.  They're equal.  You lose it, and the object gains it.  Energy is not created or destroyed.  It's just transferred from you to the object.  

Later, when you DROP the object, GRAVITY does the same amount of work on it, to pull it to the ground.  Again, no energy is created or destroyed.  Every time a force acts to move anything, the energy to do it comes from somewhere, and the energy goes somewhere.

Wolfgang pauli hypothesized an exclusion principle. This principle says two electrons in an atom cannot have the same what?.
tatiyna

No two electrons in an atom or molecule may have the same four electronic quantum numbers, according to the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Only two electrons can fit into an orbital at a time, hence they must have opposing spins.

<h3>What is Pauli's exclusion principle ?</h3>

According to Pauli's Exclusion Principle, no two electrons in the same atom can have values for all four of their quantum numbers that are exactly the same. In other words, two electrons in the same orbital must have opposing spins and no more than two electrons can occupy the same orbital.

  • The reason it is known as the exclusion principle is because it states that all other electrons in an atom are excluded if one electron in the atom has the same specific values for all four quantum numbers.

a motorcycle accelerates from 15 m/s to 20 m/s over a distance of 50 meters. what is its average acceleration?
devlian [24]
For this, you need the v-squared equation, which is v(final)² = v(initial)² + 2aΔx The averate acceleration is thus a = (v(final)² - v(initial)²) / 2Δx = (20² - 15²) / 2(50) = 175 / 100 = 1.75 m/s² So the average acceleration is 1.75 m/s²

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci
abruzzese [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is 
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c =  the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
    = 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

jamal is playing with magnetic toy vehicles. He has two identical magnetic vehicles (purple and green) on different sides of a c
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Since potential energy increases with increase in the separation distance, Jamal should move the toy car that will create the largest separation distance.  The magnetic force that will act on the vehicles as he moves the cars away from each other will decrease because magnetic force is inversely proportional to the separating distance between the cars.

Explanation:

Since potential energy increases with increase in the separation distance, Jamal should move the toy car that will create the largest separation distance.The magnetic force that will act on the vehicles as he moves the cars away from each other will decrease because magnetic force is inversely proportional to the separating distance between the cars.
