<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

Briefly describe factors and characteristics that influence conflict resolution.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Personal attitudes play a role in conflict resolution and include prejudices, biases, prior experience, and the level of importance of a topic to the parties involved. It is important to note that you can control your own attitude, but you cannot control the attitudes of others; it is necessary to focus on your attitudes and assumptions before you address the other party's. Next, you need to know what the nature of the conflict is, or what the conflict is about. It is necessary to know how severe the conflict is, how easily it can be resolved, how much sacrifice it will take to overcome, and how heated it is likely to get. Lastly, one needs to understand the capabilities of the people involved. Is everyone on the same level and do they have what they need to work on the conflict, i.e. money, time, and support?

What is the distance between two spheres, each with a charge of 2.5 x 10-6 c, when the force between them is 0.50 n?
lianna [129]
In this case, Coulomb's Law applies:

F = 1/(4πε₀) · (Q₁Q₂/r²)

You can solve it for r:

r = √[1/(4πε₀) · (Q₁Q₂/F<span>)]

Plugging in numbers:

r = </span>√[1/(4π·8.85×10⁻¹²) · (2.5×10⁻⁶)²/0.50] 
  = 0.335m

The correct answer is: the two charges are 0.335m apart.
