Explanation:

Mechanical energy (the sum of potential and kinetic energy) is constant:

ME = PE + KE

ME = PE + ½ mv²

PE = ME − ½ mv²

So the slope of the line is -½ of the mass.

What mechanism of energy is transferred by mass motion of fluid from one region of space to another?

lora16 [44]

Convection, because it is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy within it.

Suppose a rock is hoisted up with a rope. The rock experiences 10 N of tension force upward and 10 N of gravitational force down

nika2105 [10]

False. Since the forces are pulling in equal and opposite directions, the net force is 0.

A car driving on a straight track accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2 for 14 sec. If the initial velocity of the car was 5.1 m/s,

Andreyy89

The final position of the car is 385 m.

Explanation:

We know the formula :

s = $ut +$ $\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

where,

s = distance

u = initial velocity = 5.1 m/s

t = time taken = 14 sec

a = acceleration = 3.2 m/ $s^{2}$

Solving:

s = 5.1* 14 + $\frac{1}{2}$ * 3.2 * $14^{2}$

∴ s = 385 m

Hence the final position of the car is 385 m.
