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

After 24.0 days 2.00 milligrams of an original 128.0. Milligram sample remain what is the half life of the sample

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

4 days

either multiply 128 by .5 until you get to 2 counting each time or use 2 formulas ln(n2/n1)=-k(t2-t1) to get k then input k into ln(2)=k*t1/2

n2 is final amount and n1 is beginning and t is either time elapsed as in the first formula or the actual half life that is t1/2

NISA [10]

Answer:

Potential energy $P_E = 2000 J$

Explanation:

Given data

Weight of the person = 1000 N

Mass of the person = $\frac{1000}{9.81} = 102 kg$

Speed = 6.26 $\frac{m}{s}$

Kinetic energy is given by

$E_K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Put the values in above formula we get

$E_K = \frac{1}{2}(102) 6.26^{2}$

$E_K = 2000 J$

When the person reach top point then at this point the velocity is zero & kinetic energy at top point is equals to the potential energy.

Therefore potential energy

$P_E = 2000 J$

The time of fly of a projectile to the same level as it was launched is 2(v_y)/g=2(47sin(25))/g. We multiply this by the v_x to get the distance. Thus, the distance is <span>2(47sin(25))/g*47cos(25)=86.2. This is a overshoot!</span>

the radius of a ball is increasing at a rate of 2 mm per second. how fast is the volume of the ball increasing when the diameter

otez555 [7]

Step 1: Define an equation that relates the volume of a sphere to its radius.

V = 4/3*π*r3

Step 2: Take the derivative of each side with respect to time (we will define time as "t").

(d/dt)V = (d/dt)(4/3*π*r3)

dV/dt = 4πr2*dr/dt

Step 3: We are told in the problem statement that diameter is 100m, so therefore r = 50mm. We are also told the radius of the sphere is increasing at a rate of 2mm/s, so therefore dr/dt = 2mm/s. We are looking for how fast the volume of the sphere is increasing, or dV/dt.

dV/dt = 4π(50mm)2*(2mm/s)

dV/dt = 62,832 mm3/s
