Describe how a Newton's cradle illustrates the conservation of energy.

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is transformed from one form of energy to another form. The total energy of the system remains constant.

In the Newton's cradle, there is elastic collision between the balls. The energy at first was potential energy and it was transformed in the form of kinetic energy as the ball swing up.

In elastic collision, the energy and momentum remains conserved.

The energy possessed by the first ball was potential energy due to its position. On collision, the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy and transferred to the second ball. The energy will be transferred to the rest of the balls in contact one by one till the last ball starts to move and kinetic energy transforms to potential energy again.

This process will continue until and unless stopped by an external unbalanced force. As we know, from the first law of motion an object continues to be in the state of rest or motion unless and until an external unbalanced force is applied on it.

Hence, the correct option is Option D.

Which of the following is a type of tissue in plants that is dead at maturity?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The plant tissues are composed of three types of cells: parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.

The parenchyma and collenchyma remain alive at their maturity but sclerenchyma loses their protoplasm and become dead. These cells deposit lignin in their secondary walls and form hard tissues of the plant-like hard shell of a coconut. Sclerenchyma provides mechanical strength to the plant.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Why do you suppose the united states still uses the english system for everyday measurements while almost every other country us
Alchen [17]
Answer:
Because the English measurement system has been in use for a very long time, it will be costly and time consuming to change from the English to SI units. Many technological measurements, products, and tools were developed in English units.

The cost of converting all measurements to SI units will be costly and will require a long period of time. Conversions between the English and the SI system of units appear to be more cost-effective than hardware changes.

Example:
It will be costly to convert designs for bridges, tunnels, locomotives, automobiles, and other hardware to the SI system. Although new designs are being performed in SI units, much useful hardware based on English units still remain.

Eventually, it is likely that complete conversion from English to SI units will happen, albeit slowly.
