Answer:

The object is 1.2755 meters above the ground

Explanation:

Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy for an object of mass "m" at a height "h" above the ground:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h

In this case, since we are given the mass of the object and the object's potential energy, we can estimate the only unknown (height "h") from the formula shown above. Also since all units are given in the SI system, the result for the object's height will result in meters:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h\\12.5\,J=1.0\,kg\,*9.8\,\frac{m}{s^2} \,*\,h\\\frac{12.5}{9.8} \,meters= h\\h=1.2755\ meters

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

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! :)
