Answer:
Potential energy does not have an absolute measurement. It is always relative to some reference point. Gravitational potential always increases when you go up and decreases when you go down. But the choice of a zero point is arbitrary.
If you’re dropping objects onto the ground, then choosing the ground as a zero point makes the calculations easier. But you could just as easily make the zero point the top of Mt. Everest, and all the answers would turn out the same. Up still means more energy and down means less, but now the PE of an object at sea level would have a negative sign, but not as negative as an object ten meters above sea level.
So everything would still work fine.
In fact, planetary astronomers take this idea to extremes. Instead of the top of Mt. Everest, they set the zero point for potential energy as infinitely high—so far “up” that gravity is so weak that going “up” another kilometer doesn’t gain you any energy. Then the value for potential energy everywhere else in the universe anywhere near a planet has a negative sign, but just as before, all the answers in relative terms turn out fine.

What is the net force on a refrigerator that you push with an applied force of 125 N to the right and the (sliding) friction between the floor and the fridge is 95 N to the left? (b) As you increase the force applied to the fridge, will the friction force also increase? Explain. Hint: remember the force of friction between solid surfaces does not depend on speed

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
Answer:
Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body? As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.

An impulse of 12.2kg m/s is delivered to an object whose initial momentum is 4.5kgm/s. What is the object's final momentum?
Answer:
Object's final momentum = 16.7 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Impulse, J = 12.2 kg-m/s
Initial momentum, [tex]P_i=4.5\ kg-m/s[/tex]
We need to find the object's final momentum. We know that the impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,
Impulse = change in momentum
[tex]J=P_f-P_i\\\\P_f=J+P_i\\\\P_f=12.2+4.5\\\\P_f=16.7\ kg-m/s[/tex]
So, the object's final momentum is 16.7 kg-m/s.
Given:
Impulse, [tex]J = 12.2 kg-m/s[/tex]Initial momentum, [tex]P_i = 4.5 \ kg-m/s[/tex]We know the relation,
→ [tex]Impulse = Change \ in \ momentum[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]J = P_f-P_i[/tex]
then,
→ [tex]P_f = J+P_i[/tex]
By substituting the values,
[tex]= 12.2+4.5[/tex]
[tex]= 16.7 \ kg-m/s[/tex]
Thus the above answer is right.
