Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
sukhopar [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

The first law of thermodynamics states the conservation of energy and heat where the total energy in an isolated system may be transformed into another, but never created or destroyed. If 286 J of energy was released to the room, then also 286 J of energy was also removed from food in that refrigerator assuming it is an isolated system.   :)

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas
stepan [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer:  0.63 m from the left end.

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)

Which best compares radiation and conduction?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves.
