Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

When you rub a glass rod with a piece of silk, the glass rod becomes positively charged?
Lynna [10]
Glass loses electrons easily and silk takes them. Because electrons are negatively charged, the glass rod becomes positive and the silk becomes negative.

g In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constr
Lorico [155]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

a = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}

da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

F_w = ma

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

dF_W = mda

dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)

dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})

dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})

dF_W = -0.3N

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.

What is the speed between reflected ray and the incident ray
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The speed is the same as long as the reflection is regular.

Explanation:

This is because in regular reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in accordance with the second law of reflection.

Since speed of light depends on the angle of the light ray it makes with the reflecting surface, the speed is the same

A farmhand pushes a 26-kg bale of hay 3.9 m across the floor of a barn. If she exerts a horizontal force of 88 N on the hay, how
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

W =  343.2 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bale of hay = 26 kg

Horizontal force exerted = 88 N

Distance moved, d = 3.9 m

Work done, W = Fd

Put all the values,

W = 88 N × 3.9 m

= 343.2 J

So, the work done is 343.2 J.
