This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).
So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .
-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)
-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.
(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)
-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules
(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)

Answer:
A) R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m
, B) L = 223.61 m
, C) R = 225.61 m
Explanation:
Part A
This is a vector summing exercise, let's take a Reference System where the z axis corresponds to the height (flights), the x axis is the East - West and the y axis corresponds to the North - South.
Let's write the displacements
Descending from the apartment
10 flights of 3 m each, the total descent is 30 m
Z = 30 k ^ m
Offset at street level
L1 = 0.2 i ^ km
L2 = 0.1 j ^ km
Let's reduce everything to the SI system
L1 = 0.2 * 1000 = 200 i ^ m
L2 = 100 j ^ m
The distance traveled is
R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m
Part B
The horizontal distance traveled can be found with the Pythagorean theorem for the coordinates in the plane
L² = x² + y²
L = √ (200² + 100²)
L = 223.61 m
Part C
The magnitude of travel, let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the sum
R² = x² + y² + z²
R = √ (30² + 200² + 100²)
R = 225.61 m
Copper is the second best known electrical conducting substance. The first best one is silver. We almost always use copper because silver costs too much.
Work formula:
W = F * d
F 1 = 40 N, d 1 = 6 m;
F 2 = 30 N; d 2 = 6 m.
W ( Cindy ) = 40 * 6 = 240 Nm
W ( Andy ) = 30 * 6 = 180 Nm
The difference of their amounts if work:
240 Nm - 180 Nm = 60 nm
hope it helps!
