Energy can not be created or destroyed but can change from one form to another.
example: as a roller coaster cart loses height the more speed it gains, the potential energy is transferred into kenetic energy
False, as an object falls its potential energy turns into kinetic energy thus decreasing the potential energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
from the question we have the following:
distance between Sacramento and los angles = 400 miles
speed of car A = 60 mph
start time of car A = 11 am
speed of car B = 75 mph
start time of car B = 12 pm
distance of Fresno from Los Angeles = 150 miles
- To start off let's allow car A to travel for one hour (from 11 am to 12 pm), during which it would have covered a distance of 60 miles.
- Now the time would be 12 pm and the distance between the two cars would be 400 - 60 (distance traveled by car A within 11 am to 12 pm) = 340 miles
- From 12 pm to the time both cars will meet, the distance covered by car A + distance covered by car B would be equal to 340 miles. Therefore
- Distance covered by car A = speed x time(t) = 60 x t = 60t
- Distance covered by car B = speed x time(t) = 75 x t = 75t
- 60t + 75t = 340 miles
- 135t = 340
- t = 2.51 hours
- Recall that at their meeting point, the distance covered by car B = 75t = 75 x 2.62 = 188.89 miles
- Since Fresno is 150 miles from Los Angeles, car B which is 188.89 miles from Los Angeles at their meeting point would be 188.89 - 150 = 38.89 miles from Fresno
- 38.89 miles would also be the distance of car A from Fresno since that is their meeting point.
