Answer:
His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases
The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.
Explanation:
Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression , so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.
When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.
Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.
mgh+= Constant
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the cart,
Mass of the cart 2,
Final speed of cart 2,
Final speed of cart 1 is 0 as it comes to rest.
Let us assume that the initial velocity of the cart 2 is 0. So using the conservation of linear momentum as :
So, the initial velocity of the 1.0-kg cart is 0.9 m/s.
