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.

During a single-replacement reaction, a more-active metal will replace a less-active metal in a compound. Which single-replaceme
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Mg will replace Ag in a compound

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is driven by the position of ions on the activity series.

As a rule of thumb, the position of metal ions on the activity series determines their reactivity.

Metal ions that are above another are more reactive and they will displace those that are lower.

Generally, activity increases as we go up the group.

Mg ions are higher than Ag ions on the series so, Mg will displace Ag from a solution.

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv
cestrela7 [59]
<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":  

P=\sigma A T^{4} (1)  

Where:  

P=300J/min=5J/s=5W is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing 1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}

\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}} is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.  

A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2} is the Surface area of the body  

T=727\°C=1000.15K is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close.  So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4} (2)  

Where \epsilon is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating \epsilon from (2):

\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}} (3)  

Solving:

\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}} (4)  

Finally:

\epsilon=0.17 (5)  This is the body's emissivity
