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.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.

Compare and contrast series and parallel circuits?
dalvyx [7]

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit. Whereas in the parallel circuit, the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit.

Hope It Helps!
