Answer:
It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.
The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.
Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs
Answer:
4. B and D
Explanation:
Two points along a transverse wave (such as the one in the figure) are said to be in phase when:
- the vertical position of the two points is the same
- The oscillation of the wave is going in the same way for both points
Basically, we say that two points are in phase when they are separated by a complete cycle (one complete oscillation) of the wave.
For this wave, we see that point B and C have same displacement, but they are not in phase since in B the oscillation is going down while in C is going up.
Instead, B and D are in phase, because they are separated by one complete cycle: both points have same displacement and the oscillation is going in the same way for both of them.
"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."
These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is
"<em>F = m·A.</em> The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."
The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
