You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h
Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by ) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:
Explanation:
The Area of the triangle is given by where (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.
The area is then
The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative
Product rule
Chain rule
In here we can identify , and .
The result is then
I think that the wavelengths of an incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat. This is because the incoming solar radiation to the surface of the earth is in the utraviolet (short) to near infrared (long) wavelength bands. After absorption has taken place, surfaces reradiate heat energy back to the atmosphere at long wavelength infrared.
Solid has vibrating molecules that barely move to keep it's shape
liquid moves at an average speed and keeps it's volume but not it's shape
gases move quickly and all over the place so they don't have a shape or volume
plasma is the quickest moving and is like a gas
