Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>

<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>

<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>

<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>

<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328

As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will
Natalija [7]

As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will decreases.

<h3>What is ohm’s law?</h3>

Ohm's law claims that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

When all physical parameters and temperature are constant,

Ohm's law claims that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

This current-voltage connection may be expressed mathematically by Ohm's law as;

V=IR

If the voltage is constant, the resistance of the circuit will be inversely proportional to the current.

Hence,as the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will decreases.

To learn more of the ohm's law, refer to the link;

Need some help
Keith_Richards [23]

The answer is C) the density of the rock

Density of rock is the dependent variable, because it depends on the temperature. The temperature can’t be the dependent variable because ,the density of a rock does not have magical powers that can change temperature of a room. However changing the temperature of the room ,will change the density of the rock. Hope this helps !

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 225 m in one direction, make a 90° t
Gekata [30.6K]

Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector

<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>

Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,

<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>

Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,

<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )

<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>

The net displacement is

<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃

<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>

and its magnitude is

|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m
