Undergrad Work & Gravity: How to Lift a 5 kg Box 1 Meter?
I am quoting a text from a web sight before my question. "Let's assume we have a 5 kg box on the floor. Let's arbitrarily call its current potential energy zero, just to give us a reference point. If we do work to lift the box one meter off the floor, we need to overcome the force of gravity...- ziaharipur

High School Work done in lifting an object against gravity
I posted this Question on yahoo answers in this way and got a very good answer showing that my understanding is correctA book of mass 5kg is lifted from the table to shelf. the body was at rest (initial kinetic energy=0), we applied 50 Newton force on it for just a second to produce an...- ziaharipur

High School Work done in lifting an object against gravity
Dear fellows I have three questions related to the topic “Lifting an object against gravity”. If we lift an object of mass 5kg we need to apply a little more force than its weight to lift it and suppose we apply 50 N force (gravity is exerting 49 N forces on it) for just a second that...- ziaharipur

High School Domain of a quadratic function under square root having no x intercept
I am trying to find the domain of this function f(x)=sqrt(x^2 - 2x +5). i am supposing that y=x^2 - 2x +5 and y must be greater of equal to 0. in otherwords where the graph is touching or above x axis. to find where the graph is touching x-axis i am trying to find the x intercept and i get...- ziaharipur

High School Solving Absolute Value Problem: x ≤ 3
Suppose we have this absolute value question | x-3 | = 3 – x If we solve this question we break it as X - 3 = 3 – x or -(x - 3) = 3 - x Now if we solve it we come to know that the part on right is true for all real numbers And the part on the left is true for only 3 I also have read that...- ziaharipur
