Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

  • Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
  • As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0  = m*g*h

  • As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical energy is energy derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy.

Or,

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge. Lightning, batteries and even electric eels are examples of electrical energy.People use electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, and refrigeration and for operating appliances, computers, electronics, machinery, and public transportation systems.

Hope it helped you.

Hi there!

Two possible answers are air resistance and friction.

Friction is caused by the rubbing of the surface of the ground and the surface of the object. Although ice doesn't have much friction, it can still cause friction.

Air resistance is caused by friction between the air and the object. As the object moves along a surface, it collides into many air particles; thus, it slows down.

Hope this helps.
Have an awesome day! :)

An engineer can increase the magnitude of the magnification of a compound microscope by
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is  

M = M_o \times M_e

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.  

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.  

Magnification,  

M\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{f}

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B i.e. using shorter focal length
