Explanation:
Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force
Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.

Answer:
The tension on the shank is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The strain on the strain on the head is 
The contact area is 
Looking at the first diagram
At 600 MPa of stress
The strain is 
At 450 MPa of stress
The strain is 
To find the stress at 
we use the interpolation method
Substituting values
Generally the force on each head is mathematically represented as
Substituting values
Now the tension on the bolt shank is as a result of the force on the 6 head which is mathematically evaluated as
Answer:
The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm
new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm
applied force on the spring, F = 40 N
extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm
From Hook's law
Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
F ∝ e
F = ke
where;
k is the spring constant
k = F / e
k = 40 / 0.04
k = 1000 N/m
Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
I think it would be warmer in a grassy field with no wind on a winter day because you'll have sunlight hitting you. However, if you were in a thick forest, all sunlight would be blocked and you would have no warmth from the sun.
The answer should be D) Cold air because even though its true sound can travel through all types of matter, air which is a gas, can travel but it travels SLOWLY while sound travels quickly in SOLIDS.
