Which statement is true about the law of conservation of energy for an object released from a certain height above the ground

Physics

The question is really specific enough, but I will take a guess. If nothing else changes (like the mass or the gravitational constant) then the Potential Energy  will increase with an increase in height. Ep will decrease with a decrease in height.

If you are talking about Ke, then the height does not matter unless the object is moving up. Then it slows down. When that happens the Ke decreases because the formula for Ke = 1/2 m v^2.   If v becomes less then Ke becomes less.

I suppose you could say if the object is going down and the distance is decreasing then the speed will increase. It's an inverse relationship.

I think you are best talking about Pe.

If you fire a gun horizontally, and at the same time drop a bullet/slug from the same height, what will happen?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

There you have it. The y-component of air resistance for the fired bullet still depends on the fired speed of the bullet (since it is proportional to v2). A fired bullet (with air resistance) does not hit the ground at the same time as a dropped bullet.

Explain why buildings are wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits
Drupady [299]
In a series circuit . . .

       There is only one path for current to take. 

All the way from one terminal of the power supply, through all of
the lights, computers, vending machines, air conditioners and
everything else in the building, to the other terminal of the electric
supply.  One path ! 

So the current for EVERY device has to flow through ALL of them,
because that's the only path there is.

If any ONE device in the building was turned off, burned out, or
unplugged from the outlet, then there would be NO PATH for the
current, and everything in the building would lose power !      

Not a very convenient way to operate a house or a building.
