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

Explain what is the capacity of a battery in your own words

Vinil7 [7]

Battery capacity (AH) is defined as a product of the current that is drawn from the battery while the battery is able to supply the load until its voltage is dropped to lower than a certain value for each cell.

A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

$V_{r}$ = 2π r / T

Where

π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159

T is period of time

Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel

The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.

Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26

Vr = 12.1893692/2.26

Vr = 5.39352619469

Which is approximately 5.39

Cheers!

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a northerly headin

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The compass will indicate a turn to the left.

Explanation:

The magnetic compass has a needle pointing towards north. It is used for navigation and it shows direction with respect to the geographical cardinal direction.

As we move to the right of the northerly heading in northern Hemisphere, the direction of needle will move towards left but with a faster rate as now the direction of north is no his left.

This shows the compass if following its direction properly.

describe how a physical property, such as mass or texture, can change without causing a change in the substance

kari74 [83]

On the mass subject you could simply change the weight, on the texture subject you could smooth it out like polishing fresh wood, or you could change the color of water with a drink-mix packet. Hope it helped!
