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 mass of water in grams will fill a tank 100cm long, 50cm wide, 30cm high?
Answer:
150,000grams
Explanation:
100*50*30=150,000
Also 1ml water= 1 grams
Answer:
150,000³
Process:
You multiply 100cm x 50cm x 30cm. The reason you do this is because the "mass" will be the volume of the tank of water. A "small 2" would represent a two dimensional area, whereas the "small 3" would represent a 3 dimensional area.

an experiment involving the scientific method begins with a/an:
Answer:
Step 1. Make observations.
Step 2. Form a hypothesis.
Step 3. Make a prediction.
Step 4. Perform an experiment.
Step 5. Analyze the results of the experiment.
Step 6. Draw a conclusion.
Step 7. Report your results.
Explanation:
The first step in the Scientific Method is to make objective observations. These observations are based on specific events that have already happened and can be verified by others as true or false. Step 2. Form a hypothesis.
Our observations tell us about the past or the present. As scientists, we want to be able to predict future events. We must therefore use our ability to reason.
Scientists use their knowledge of past events to develop a general principle or explanation to help predict future events. The general principle is called a hypothesis. The type of reasoning involved is called inductive reasoning (deriving a generalization from specific details).
A hypothesis should have the following characteristics:
• It should be a general principle that holds across space and time
• It should be a tentative idea
• It should agree with available observations
• It should be kept as simple as possible.
• It should be testable and potentially falsifiable. In other words, there should be a
way to show the hypothesis is false; a way to disprove the hypothesis.
Some mammals have two hind limbs would be a useless hypothesis. There is no observation that would not fit this hypothesis!
All mammals have two hind limbs is a good hypothesis. We would look throughout the world at mammals. When we find whales, which have no hind limbs, we would have shown our hypothesis to be false; we have falsified the hypothesis.
When a hypothesis involves a cause-and-effect relationship, we state our hypothesis to indicate there is no effect. A hypothesis, which asserts no effect, is called a null hypothesis. For instance, the drug Celebra does not help relieve rheumatoid arthritis.

Who has the greater velocity, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the Earth or you when you have just traveled from home to school? Explain.
Answer:
the answer is
Explanation:
constant acceleration
because when the object's velocity is changing then the object is accelerating or decelerating
as acceleration describe changing of velocity so the answer is constant acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Acceleration = (Change in velocity) / time taken
Acceleration = (Final velocity - initial velocity) / time
As the object velocity changes by the same amount in each second, it means the acceleration is constant.

A student wants to try to convince her parents to stop serving peas for dinner. She lays out her argument that peas are high in fructose, which is a type of sugar. Which test could she use to provide scientific evidence to support her argument that peas are high in fructose?(1 point)
brown paper bag test
vinegar test
Benedict’s test
iodine test
Answer:Benedict’s Test
Explanation:
The student will use Benedict's test to support her argument.
The common reagents for testing carbohydrates are iodine and Benedicts test.
While iodine gives a positive result with starch, it doesn't react with fructose.
Benedict's reagent is used to determine the presence of reducing sugar in a given solution.
A positive test with Benedict's reagent is determined by a color change from clear blue to brick-red with a precipitate.
A reaction between fructose and Benedict's solution gives a positive test from the color change which occurs when the fructose is reduced to simple sugar such as glucose and mannose.
Thus, the student will use Benedict's test to support her argument.

7. A train is traveling with an initial velocity of 20.1 m/sec. If the brakes can apply a maximum
acceleration of -0.0500 m/sec”, how long will it take the train to stop?
The time that takes for the train that is traveling with an initial velocity of 20.1 m/s to stop is 402 seconds.
The time that will take for the train to stop can be calculated with the following kinematic equation:
[tex] v_{f} = v_{i} + at [/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final velocity = 0 (when it stops)
[tex] v_{i}[/tex]: is the intial velocity = 20.1 m/s
a: is the acceleration = -0.0500 m/s²
t: is the time =?
By solving equation (1) for t, we have:
[tex] t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{a} = \frac{0 - 20.1 m/s}{-0.0500 m/s^{2}} = 402 s [/tex]
Therefore, it will take 402 seconds for the train to stop.

11 An unstretched spring is 12,0 cm long. A load of 5.0N stretches it to 15.0cm. How long will it be under a load
of 15N? (Assume that the spring obeys Hooke's law.)
Answer: Approximately 22 cm
=========================================================
Explanation:
The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.
Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).
3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m
Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k
F = -kx
5.0 = -k*(0.03)
k = -(5.0)/(0.03)
k = -166.667 approximately
Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons
F = -kx
-kx = F
x = F/(-k)
x = -F/k
x = -15/(-166.667)
x = 0.089 approximately
x = 0.1
The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm
So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms. What is her velocity?
Answer:
45/30
Explanation:
bbsksksbsnbksbsksbs
Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms. then her velocity would be 1.5 meters per second
What is momentum?It can be defined as the product of the mass and the speed of the particle, it represents the combined effect of mass and the speed of any particle, and the momentum of any particle is expressed in Kg m/s unit.
Mathematically the formula of the momentum is
P = mv
where P is the momentum of the particle
m is the mass of the particle
v is the velocity by which the particle is moving
As given in the problem Nikki has a momentum of 45 Kilogram meters per second and a mass of 30 Kilograms
P = 45 Kilogram meters per second
m = 30 Kilograms
By substituting the values of the momentum and the mass in the formula of the momentum
P = mv
45 = 30 ×v
v = 45/30 meters per seconds
v = 1.5 meters per seconds
Thus, Nikki weighs 30 kilograms and moves at a 45 kilogram per the second momentum. subsequently, her velocity would be 1.5 meters per second.

[tex] P_{i}V_{i} = P_{f}V_{f} [/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex] P_{i}[/tex]: is the initial pressure = 100 kPa
[tex] V_{i}[/tex]: is the initial volume = 1.0 L
[tex]P_{f}[/tex]: is the final pressure = 25 kPa
[tex]V_{f}[/tex]: is the final volume =?
Hence, the final volume is:
[tex] V_{f} = \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} = \frac{100 kPa*1.0 L}{25 kPa} = 4.0 L [/tex]
