Answer:
Climbing stairs and lifting objects is work in both the scientific and everyday sense—it is work done against the gravitational force. When there is work, there is a transformation of energy. The work done against the gravitational force goes into an important form of stored energy that we will explore in this section.

Figure 1. (a) The work done to lift the weight is stored in the mass-Earth system as gravitational potential energy. (b) As the weight moves downward, this gravitational potential energy is transferred to the cuckoo clock.
Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force. For convenience, we refer to this as the PEg gained by the object, recognizing that this is energy stored in the gravitational field of Earth. Why do we use the word “system”? Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.
Converting Between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy
Gravitational potential energy may be converted to other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy. If we release the mass, gravitational force will do an amount of work equal to mgh on it, thereby increasing its kinetic energy by that same amount (by the work-energy theorem). We will find it more useful to consider just the conversion of PEg to KE without explicitly considering the intermediate step of work. (See Example 2.) This shortcut makes it is easier to solve problems using energy (if possible) rather than explicitly using forces.
More precisely, we define the change in gravitational potential energy ΔPEg to be ΔPEg = mgh, where, for simplicity, we denote the change in height by h rather than the usual Δh. Note that h is positive when the final height is greater than the initial height, and vice versa. For example, if a 0.500-kg mass hung from a cuckoo clock is raised 1.00 m, then its change in gravitational potential energy is
mgh=(0.500 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(1.00 m) =4.90 kg⋅m2/s2=4.90 Jmgh=(0.500 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(1.00 m) =4.90 kg⋅m2/s2=4.90 J
Note that the units of gravitational potential energy turn out to be joules, the same as for work and other forms of energy. As the clock runs, the mass is lowered. We can think of the mass as gradually giving up its 4.90 J of gravitational potential energy, without directly considering the force of gravity that does the
What does v or vf stand for? What SI units are used to measure it?
Answer:
Below
Explanation:
In my experience, vf means final velocity, and v would be the average velocity!
You would write it as ΔV (delta V)
The SI units that are used to measure it are m/s
Hope that helped!
v and vf stand for velocity and final velocity respectively. its SI unit is to measure it is m/s.
What is velocity & Acceleration ?Velocity is "rate in change of displacement with respect to time".
i.e. v= dx/dt. It is denoted by v.
it is also defined as displacement divided time. i.e. v= Displacement÷Time.
Velocity shows how much distance can be covered in unit time. It's SI unit m/s.
Acceleration is rate in change of velocity with respect to time.
i.e. a = dv/dt
if an object changes its velocity in short time, we can say that it has greater acceleration.
a= dv/dt =Δv/Δt = [tex]\frac{v_{i} - v_{f} }{t_{i}-t_{f} }[/tex]
where [tex]v_{i}[/tex]= initial velocity of an object
[tex]v_{f}[/tex]= final velocity of an object
t₂= initial time of an object
t₁ = final time of an object
Hence v is stands for velocity and vf is stand for final velocity,

the right-hand tube of the manometer is open to the atmosphere. The pump has been operated so that the mercury levels differ, as shown, by 250 mm. The density of mercury is 13 600 kg / m3. i) Calculate the pressure, in Pa, due to the 250 mm column of mercury.
Answer:
P(ressure) = d g h = density * gravity * height
P = 13600 * 9.8 * .25 = 33,300 Pa
Check: 1 atm = 76 cm = 760 mm height = 1.01 * 10E5 Pa
h = 1.01 * 10E5 / 9.8 * 13600 .758 m = 758 mm for 1 atm
250 / 758 = 1/3 atmosphere = 33,700 Pa close enough for estimates
(the pressure requested is 1/3 atmosphere where 1 atm = 760 mm Hg)

The P.E stored by a mass spring system at an extension of 2 cm is 10 J. The P.E stored by the same system at an
extension of 4 cm will be:
Explanation:
extension(x) = 0.02m When the P.E is 10J.
extension(x)= 0.04m PE?.
P.E is proportional to Extension²
P.E/x² = P.E"/x"²
10/(0.02)² = P.E/(0.04)²
P.E= 10x(0.04)²/(0.02)²
P.E= 40J

Answer:
Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

If a ball is rolling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s and has a momentum of 10.0 kg times m/s, what is the mass of the ball?
Answer:
Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg
Explanation:
Given data:
Momentum, Mo = 10.0 kgm/s
Velocity of the rolling ball, V = 1.5 m/s
Mass of the body, M = ?
Momentum, Mo = Mass, M x Velocity, V
10.0 kgm/s = M x 1.5 m/s
Divide each side by 1.5 m/s
M = 10.0 kgm/s / 1.5 m/s
M = (6⅔) kg
:. Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg

how is light reflected from a prism
Answer:
White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
A brick is 32cm long and 10cm wide. It weighs 16N and is lying on the ground. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the ground.
Answer:
Below
Explanation:
First, we need to convert the dimension from cm to m before plugging it into the equation:
32 / 100 = 0.32 m
10 / 100 = 0.1 m
You can use this equation to find the pressure exerted on the ground
Pressure = Force / Area
Plugging our values in.....
Pressure = 16 Newtons / (0.1)(0.32)
= 16 Newtons / 0.032
= 500 N/m^2

Describe how you would measure the Volume of an irregular solid object.
You can include any apparatus and equations.
Answer:
Find a recipient that you can put the object completely inside, and fill this recipient with water. After, you put the irregular solid you want to measure the volume inside, and the water will spill out the recipient. So you take the water that spilled out and uses a graduated recipient to measure the volume of water. The volume of the solid will be exactly the same volume of water that spilled of the first recipient
Water does not run out of dropper unless the rubber-bulb is pressed. Why?
Answer:
The pressure inside the dropper is same as the atmospheric pressure when the rubber bulb is not pressed. ... But when we press the rubber bulb the pressure inside the dropper increases and hence the water flows out. Atmospheric pressure acting from outside the dropper balances the pressure exerted by water and water does not come out of a dropper. On pressing the dropper inside pressure of water becomes more than outside atmospheric pressure and water run out. When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle kept in water, air in the dropper is seen to escape in the form of bubbles. Once we release the pressure on the bulb, water gets filled in the dropper.

Answer:
0.00049882 kg
........................
Answer:
498.82 mg=0.00049882 kg
Explanation:
To get this answer, you must multiply the quantity of mg by 0.000001, which is also 0.001². Since one gram is 1000 mg, and 1000 g is 1 kg, you must divide the amount of mg by one million, or multiply by 1/1000000, or 0.000001. I hope this helped you. Enjoy your day, and take care!
