I read that lifting an object higher increases its potential energy. Is this true? I can't see how, considering:
Ep = mgh
F = mg
so Ep = Fh
F = (G x m1 x m2)/ d2
so
Ep = (G x m1 x m2 x d)/ d2
so
Ep = (G x m1 x m2)/ d
So the greater the distance between the object and the...
By way of clarification, this post is intended as a question, not as some thinly disguised alternative theory. So, as possibly an uninformed generalisation, it seems that the verification of most cosmological models must ultimately depend on observations that are predicated on the detection of...

Hi
I was just wondering if anyone could please help me, I was just wondering what would happen to the supply curve if;
1. There was a recession.
2. And if oil prices increases.
what would cause the supply curve to shift?
thanks heaps for your help

when approaching C the mass of your craft increases. If the mass of your fuel increases also wouldn't that mean the faster you go the more fuel youll have?

HI,
My question as per above.
A quick check with Physicsclassroom.com reveals that a (perhaps too simplistic) reason is that more and more air molecules are hitting the body as the body falls through the air. But i am confused. I thought when the body first falls through the air fluid...
I would like to increase the maximum current that a PWM signal from a microcontroller can source/sink from +-25mA to +-500mA.

Hello everyone,
In anameia related to iron, plasma tranferring increases and iron decreases. How does this increase the total iron binding capacity of the enzyme. If I draw a sample of blood, there would be some transferrin enzymes in excess lowering iron binding capacity right? Thanks :smile:

We explain that as the size of metal cation decreases, the covalent character of the formed molecule increases. The reason given is that as the size decreases, the electron cloud is attracted more towards it as charge density is increased.

Hello;
According to the GPE formula you gain gravitational potential energy as you go higher up (further from the centre of gravitation). Does this mean that your mass increases with distance?
Thanks.

Until now, I always that that a relativistic mass increase was literally just the increase in the mass of an object. Today I googled it, and a couple sources say that it is just an increase in energy, not mass. Can anyone confirm this?

Wikipedia says that the core temperature of our Sun is 15.7×10^6 Kelvins.
