A crate falling from a plane is part of a closed system that has 24,450 J of mechanical energy. If the kinetic energy of the crate increases from 10,000 J
to 15,000 J, what happens to the gravitational potential energy of the system?

A. It decreases from 15,000 J to
10,000 J.

B. It decreases from 14,450 J to
9,450 J.

C. It increases from 10,000 J to
75,000 J.

D. It increases from 9,450 J to
14,450 J.

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.

Which of the following are guidelines to follow for obtaining accurate observations

Atank has a shape of a cone with a radius at the top of 2 m and a height of 5 m. the tank also has a 1 m spout at the top of the tank. the tank is filled with water up to a height of 2 m. find the work needed to pump all the water out the top of the spout. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g and the fact that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)
