Complete question is;

Lamar writes several equations trying to better understand potential energy. What conclusion is best supported by Lamar’s work?

A) The elastic potential energy is the same for any distance from a reference point.

B) The gravitational potential energy equals the work needed to lift the object.

C) The gravitational potential energy is the same for any distance from a reference point.

D) The elastic potential energy equals the work needed to stretch the object

Answer:

B) The gravitational potential energy equals the work needed to lift the object.

Explanation:

In physics, we know that potential energy is the energy of a body at rest while the energy of a body in motion is known as kinetic energy.

However,the work required to lift a body from it's position of rest is equal to the Gravitational potential energy of that body.

Elastic potential energy is the one that is stored as a result of force applied to deform an elastic object. Thus, it is not equal to the work needed to stretch the object and it is also not the same for any distance from reference point.

Thus, looking at the options, Option B is correct

A man pushes an 250-N crate at constant speed a distance of 30.0 m upward along a rough slope that makes an angle of 60° with th

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

6495.19 Joule

Explanation:

F = Weight of the crate = 250 N

d = Distance the cart is pushed = 30 m

θ = Angle of inclination = 60°

The weight of the crate will be resloved into two components

Fdsinθ and Fdcosθ

Work done by the force of gravity is

W = Fdsinθ

⇒W = 250×30×sin60

⇒W = 6495.19 Joule

∴ The work done by the force of gravity is 6495.19 Joule

Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

Anika [276]

No, gravity acts equally on all objects. The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size. A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly. In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

You should check your battery ___________.

podryga [215]

One should check the battery every week.

A battery if not maintained properly can cause it to die earlier or get damaged. The reasons why should the battery be checked regularly is that due to improper management of the battery and also the weather conditions, the battery usually gets corroded easily and the battery won't be able to work properly.

The connections must be checked properly so that the battery gets charged properly and should not die while driving.

The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H2. For H2, the specific gas constant is 4157 J/(kg K). The accele

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

h=17357.9m

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.

To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{Mg}{RT}h}$

Where R is the gas constant, M the molar mass of the gas, g the acceleration of gravity, T the temperature and h the height.

Furthermore, the specific gas constant is defined by:

$R_{H_2}=\frac{R}{M}$

Therefore yo can write the barometric formula as:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

at the surface of the planet (h =0) the pressure is $P_0[\tex]. The pressure at the height requested is half of that:[tex]P=\frac{P_0}{2}$

applying to the previuos equation:

$\frac{P_0}{2} =P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

solving for h:

h=17357.9m

A golf ball is hit with a golf club. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.

34kurt

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equation related to the Gravitational Force, the equation describes that

$F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth (or Bigger star)

m = Mass of Object (or smallest star)

r = Radius

From the statement we know that once the impact is made, the golf ball is subjected to the forces that are exerted in nature. Since the air resistance, which would represent the drag force, is ignored. Only the forces related to gravity remain.

The gravitational force carries 'pushes' or 'attracts' the body towards the earth, while the speed decreases as it reaches its maximum height.

When the ball has reached its maximum height only the force of gravity begins to act on it, generating the attraction to the earth in parabolic motion.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
