The suns gravitational pull
A group of skydiver are riding in a helicopter up to the spot form which they will jump. As they ride upwards. their gravitational potential energy increases.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gravitational potential energy refers exerted energy on any object rising from the surface of Earth. It is the measurement of potential energy of any object depending on its position.
We can also define gravitational potential energy as the amount of energy required to raise an object to certain level from the surface of Earth or the work done to raise the object to some position from a position of reference. The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy is

Here, m is the object's mass, g -the acceleration and
- the object's distance from the Earth's surface.
So from this formula, it can be confirmed that if the helicopter carrying skydivers are made to ride upwards, then their gravitational potential energy will increase as the distance of helicopter from the Earth's surface is increased on riding the helicopter upwards.
Answer:
C. the time interval for stopping is greater.
Explanation:
As the egg falls onto the grass, it takes a a greater amount of time for it to stop, and thus the force that is being applied to it is in increments; there is never enough force applied on the egg for it to break. That's why the egg doesn't break when it lands on the grass.
In contrast, when the egg is dropped on the road, <em>all of the force that is being applied by the road on the egg is in the tiny interval when the egg touches the road</em>, That force is large enough to break the egg because it is being applied in a tiny amount of time. That's why the egg dropped on the road breaks.
<em>So here is the rule of thumb: if you don't want to break your things but still want to drop them, drop them such that it takes some for them to stop—because force will applied to them gradually. </em>
