A group of skydiver are riding in a helicopter up to the spot form which they will jump. As they ride upwards. their gravitational potential energy increases.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy refers exerted energy on any object rising from the surface of Earth. It is the measurement of potential energy of any object depending on its position.

We can also define gravitational potential energy as the amount of energy required to raise an object to certain level from the surface of Earth or the work done to raise the object to some position from a position of reference. The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy is

               \text {Gravitational potential energy}=m g \Delta h

Here, m is the object's mass, g -the acceleration and \Delta h - the object's distance from the Earth's surface.

So from this formula, it can be confirmed that if the helicopter carrying skydivers are made to ride upwards, then their gravitational potential energy will increase as the distance of helicopter from the Earth's surface is increased on riding the helicopter upwards.

How do we prove the earth is round? What evidence do we have and reasoning?
Jlenok [28]

Answer: Go to the harbor. When a ship sails off toward the horizon, it doesn't just get smaller and smaller until it's not visible anymore. Instead, the hull seems to sink below the horizon first, then the mast. When ships return from sea, the sequence is reversed: First the mast, then the hull, seem to rise over the horizon.

Climbing to a high point will allow you to be able to see farther if you go higher. If the Earth was flat, you'd be able to see the same distance no matter your elevation

The atom in the diagram has a neutral charge how many protons does it have
Olegator [25]

Explanation:

This should be of help:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

A neutral atom is an atom that has not lost or gained any amount of electrons.

In a neutral atom;

                the number of protons and electrons are the same

 Usually atoms are designated this way:

                                                  ᵃₙX

  where X is the symbol of the atom

               a is the mass number of the atom

                n is the atomic number of the atom

 The mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

        Atomic number = number of protons

Note; atomic number is the same as the number protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
