The potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp is greater than the kinetic energy of the car at the bottom of the ramp

Explanation:

Here we have a car moving down along a ramp. In absence of force of friction, the total mechanical energy of the car while moving down would be conserved:

E=PE+KE = const.

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

However, this is not true if friction acts on the car. When the car is still at the top of the ramp, its speed is zero, so its kinetic energy is zero, and all the energy is just potential energy:

E=PE

While the car moves down along the ramp, friction does work on it, and part of the total mechanical energy is wasted and converted into thermal energy. As a result, the car reaches the bottom of the ramp with a final energy which is less than the initial energy:

E'

Also, at the bottom of the ramp, all the energy is just kinetic energy, since the height of the car is now zero, so

E'=KE

It follows that

KE

So, the potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp is greater than the kinetic energy of the car at the bottom of the ramp.

valina [46]

Answer:

  • Increases levels of well-being neurotransmitters
  • Improves fitness
  • Improves mental health
  • Reduces the risk of developing diseases

Explanation:

Performing physical activities helps to build a healthy relationship with yourself, in the sense that physical activity promotes health at all levels. Health is a set of physical, mental and social well-being, so physical activity reaches all these levels and increases the quality of life for a person as a whole.

There are several types of physical activities that can be performed and you can choose the one that best fits your preferences and routine. A walk for example can be done in any safe place and at any time and it already helps in improving physical conditioning, in receiving serotonin and endorphins, in reducing blood pressure and protecting the heart and in improving mental health.

So the ideal is for each person to set their own goals in relation to their health and seek to achieve them, either to have a better quality of life, to socialize more with people, to prevent diseases, etc.
