Added potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

or

Added potential energy = (weight) x (added height)

If you need to lift a 15N box 3m straight up, you have to increase its potential energy by (15 N) x (3 m) = 45 Joules .

Where is that added potential energy supposed to come from ?  You could use an electric winch, a steam engine, a gasoline-powered motor, thousands of hamsters running on little treadmills that are are connected to the main pulley somehow, or your own arm muscles.  But howEVER you do it, you have to provide <em>45 Joules</em> of WORK in order to increase the potential energy of the box by just that much.

Paul [167]

Answer:

I think it's D. The expansion of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve more harmful substances.

Explanation:

I know when water freezes, it expands and between the two answers that discuss the expansion of water, D sounds the most logical to me lol.

From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

Bingel [31]

The current passing through a circuit consisting of a battery of 12 V and resistor of 2 ohms is 6 Ampere .

Explanation:

  • Assume the wires are ideal with zero resistance.  
  • The current passing through the circuit will be  

           I = V/R = 12/2 = 6.000 A.

Some of our appliances have a magnet in it.<br><br>yes or no​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

yes !!

Explanation:

Magnets can be found in the simplest or most complex devices you use every day. From home appliances such as the refrigerator, microwave oven and electric fan, to your company's office equipment such as computers and printers. All these devices use magnets.
