Gravity is the force that keeps us on the Earth. It pulls us towards the center of the Earth. If you were to move from the surfa

Nikitich [7]

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:

$U_{p}=mgh$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ the acceleration due gravity and $h$ the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of $U_{p}$ is directly proportional to the height.

Winds are named based on different factors. How are winds usually named?

eduard

Winds are named based on which compass direction the wind is blowing. For example some common ones are NE or N or SE or SW. NE stands for Northeast, N for North, SE for South East and SW for Southwest.

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.

Which of the following are inertial reference frames? A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. B. A car dr

Aloiza [94]

Answers:

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:

$F=ma$

Since F=0, a=0 as well.

Let's now analyze each case.

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.

D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.

So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.

If you place a glass cylinder in Wessin Oil, the view of the cylinder nearly disappeared when the eyedropper was full of Wessin

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index
