To increase the potential energy of any object, not limited to an apple, you have to hold it higher.
Answer:
Safety
Explanation:
As we know that safety is very important before doing anything .This is also a important part of the human needs.Every human wants both emotional and physical safety from his job or whatever is doing.
Maslow's given a Hierarchy of Needs and the second tier of this Hierarchy is safety.
So the answer of the given question is safety.
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: 29.50 m
Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:
f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).
f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a
then
a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2
With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train
as follows:
x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2
Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a
Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
Answer:
581 kJ, work was done by the system
Explanation:
According to the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)
W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)
In this problem,
Therefore the work done by the system is
And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
