Answer:

a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground

a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill

a falling raindrop

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is mechanical energy. A body has potential energy due to its position or configuration and kinetic energy due to its speed.

A body can have both potential energy and kinetic energy.

The correct options are:

a sky diver who is midway through his descent to the ground
a roller coaster car halfway down the second hill
a falling raindrop

A boulder resting on top of a mountain has just potential energy.

A parked car also has just potential energy.

Two 0.50 g spheres are charged equally and placed 2.5 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate at 170 m/s^2 .What is th

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$q=7.65*10^{-8}C$

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, we calculate the magnitude of the electric force between the spheres:

$F=ma\\F=0.5*10^{-3}kg(170\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=0.085N$

The magnitude of the charge in both spheres is the same. So, we calculate the charge, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}\\q=\sqrt\frac{Fd^2}{k}\\q=\sqrt\frac{(0.085N)(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=7.65*10^{-8}C$

on a high way a car is driven 80 km the first 1 he of travel, 50km during the next 0.5 he, and 40 km in the final 0.5 hr. What i

Leno4ka [110]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance) .

Total distance = (80 + 50 + 40) = 170 km

Total time = (1 + 0.5 + 0.5) = 2 hours

Average speed = (170 km) / (2 hrs) = 85 km/hr .

57. Example of the law of force and acceleration

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force.
