First one, holding a basketball in the air. Potential energy is the energy it has mostly from gravity. The further you go from the center of mass, the more energy.

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand potential energy.The potential  energy of a body is defined as the energy possessed by a body due  to its position and configuration.

There are  generally two types of potential energy.One is gravitational potential energy and the other one is elastic potential energy.The former one is due to the position of the body at a certain height from the surface of earth.The latter one is due to the change in  configuration of the body.

There is also electric potential energy which is stored  inside the electric filed of charge particles at rest.

The first example is holding a basket ball in air.As the body is at certain height from earth surface ,hence it has gravitational potential energy which is a best example of potential energy.

The second one is a rolling ball across a flat table.It has both rotational kinetic energy due to its rolling motion as well as potential energy due to its position.

The third one  can't be considered as it is electric in nature.

The fourth one is turning on a flashlight in a dark room.The light is due to the heating effect of electric current. so it is not gravitational in nature.

Hence option  one is the correct answer.

Answer:

a. Constant gossiping, and talking negative about a student could cause them to feel very very ill about their beliefs, their familly, school, clothes, etc. this  scenario will make the student feel alienated.

b. The club should advise the students that they should not participate in these talks, allow them into their groups, and should try to talk people out of those conversations.

c. The advice will keep several kids pull away from talking negatively about the kid, help stop the ill intended gossip, and hopefully make them feel better.

After traveling for 6.0 seconds, a runner reaches a speed of 12 m/s after starting from rest. What is the runner’s acceleration?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can find the acceleration as follows:

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ so: \\ a=\frac{12-0}{6-0} \\ a=\frac{12}{6} \\ a=2m/s^2 \end{gathered}

Answer:

D. 2 m/s^2

Suppose a block moves across a rough horizontal surface at constant speed under the action of a horizontal 3-N force. Which stat
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

A block is moving with constant velocity action the action of 3  N force.

Statement A: False, as the block is moving with constant velocity so net force is zero.

Statement B: False, as the net force is zero.

Statement C: True, the friction force is equal to the applied force.

Statement D: True: The net force is zero so that the block is moving with constant velocity.

Statement E: True, the net force is zero so the acceleration is also zero.

A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a
kirill [66]

Answer:

θ = 13.16 °

Explanation:

Lets take mass of child = m

Initial velocity ,u= 1.1 m/s

Final velocity ,v=3.7 m/s

d= 22.5 m

The force due to gravity along the incline plane = m g sinθ

The friction force = (m g)/5

Now from work power energy

We know that

work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

( m g sinθ - (m g)/5 ) d = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

(2  g sinθ - ( 2 g)/5 ) d = v² -  u²

take g = 10 m/s²

(20 sinθ - ( 20)/5 ) 22.5 = 3.7² -  1.1²

20 sinθ - 4 =12.48/22.5

θ = 13.16 °
