A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?

1 answer:

3 0

Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

What happens when stress builds up at faults?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is D because when the faults move that is the tectonic plates moving. So earth quakes will be forming when the fault moves.

Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved

ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Elastic collision

2. Inelastic collision

Explanation:

Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

the collision is described by the equation bellow

$m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2$

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity

the collision is described by the equation bellow

$m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)$

Check Your UnderstandingSuppose the radius of the loop-the-loop inExample 7.9is 15 cm and thetoy car starts from rest at a heigh

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

v = 1.7 m/s

Explanation:

By applying conservation of energy principle in this situation, we know that:

Loss in Potential Energy of Car = Gain in Kinetic Energy of Car

mgΔh = (1/2)mv²

2gΔh = v²

v = √(2gΔh)

where,

v = velocity of car at top of the loop = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Δh = change in height = 45 cm - Diameter of Loop

Δh = 45 cm - 30 cm = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Therefore,

v = √(2)(9.8 m/s²)(0.15 m)

v = 1.7 m/s

Please help

eimsori [14]

Answer:

It's important that we understand how the climate is changing, so that we can prepare for the future. Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures
As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.
