Lamar writes several equations trying to better understand potential energy. what conclusion is best supported by lamar’s work? the elastic potential energy is the same for any distance from a reference point. the gravitational potential energy equals the work needed to lift the object. the gravitational potential energy is the same for any distance from a reference point. the elastic potential energy equals the work needed to stretch the object.

On a mild saturday morning while people are working inside, the furnace keeps the temperature inside the building at 23degreesc. at noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. the temperature outside is a constant 16degreesc for the rest of the afternoon. if the time constant for the building is 3 hr, when will the temperature inside the building reach 18degreesc? if some windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when will the temperature inside reach 18degreesc?
