The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on three things. Its mass, its height above the surface of the earth and the pull of gravity (which is assumed to always be 9.8 m/s².

The Formula for finding the GPE is : m x g x h where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration and h is height from earth's surface. 

Using this formula we can find that :
GPE= 75 x 9.8 x 300 = 220500J (where J is the SI unit for GPE and stands for Joules.

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the reference)

-- Relative to the 70th floor, on which the refrigerator is standing,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0)  =  0 joules .

-- Relative to the 35th floor, halfway up to where the fridge is standing,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (150 m)  =  110,250 joules .

-- Relative to the ground,

                  PE = (75 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (300 m)  =  220,500 joules .

A thermostat is able to control the heating systems in a home by using which of the following properties of metals?
Kryger [21]
Answer: option 1. thermal expansion and contraction.

The thermostat uses the thermal expansion and contraction of metals: when the metal expands it acts as a switch, a coiled ribbon expands and the electric circuit is off, then the current stops. When the temperatures decrease, the coiled ribbon contracts and the circuit is on, then the current starts to flow and the resistance starts to radiate heat.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The problem with her grandfather's eye can be long sightedness and short sightedness

Explanation:

Given that,

Mona's grandfather had been complaining of poor vision for many days.

We know that,

Refractive eye surgery is small surgery.

We need to find the problem with her grandfather's eye

Using given data,

Mona's grandfather had been complaining of poor vision for many days.

So, the doctor did refractive eye surgery of her grandfather's eye.

Due to this surgery, Mona's grandfather can see things clearly.

Refractive eye surgery is a method for correcting vision.

This surgery used for better vision.

This surgery is possible for long sightedness and short sightedness.

Hence, The problem with her grandfather's eye can be long sightedness and short sightedness
