Answer:

Option d) only its mechanical energy is conserved

Explanation:

Since, mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy.

Potential energy depends directly on height while kinetic energy depend on the speed of the body.

When the rock is dropped its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases while the potential energy is maximum at the top and kinetic energy was zero.

Therefore, these two energies are inter convertible and when one increases the other decreases and vice-versa keeping the overall mechanical energy conserved.

Select all of the statements that are true.
natta225 [31]

The correct statements are "Each orbit holds a fixed number of electrons" and "The n=1 orbit can only hold two electrons." According to the Bohr model, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbit is given by 2n^2, where n is the number of the orbit. For instance, when n=1 it means 2n^2= 2(1)^2=2. This particular orbit can only hold up to two electrons. Even though the electrons can gain energy and move to higher orbits or electrons from higher orbits can lose energy and drop to the n=1 level, the energy level would not allow more electrons to enter the orbit once it is full. Again the octet rule, which states that atoms achieve stability by having 8 valence electrons, limits the maximum number of electrons that can be occupied by an orbit. The gain and loss of electrons is done to achieve the noble gas configuration and once that is reached no more electron can be added to an orbit

A car is moving at a constant speed of 14 m/s when the driver presses down on the gas pedal and accelerates for 14 s with an acc
Vinil7 [7]

acceleration of car is 1.8 m/s^2

time = 14 s

initial speed = 14 m/s

so the final speed is calculated by

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 14 + 14 * 1.8

v_f = 39.2 m/s

so the total distance moved in this interval of time is

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}* t

d = \frac{39.2 + 14}{2}* 14

d = 372.4 m

now the average speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{372.4}{14}

v = 26.6 m/s

so the average speed will be 26.6 m/s

Two children push on heavy crate that rests on a basement floor. one pushes horizontally with a force of 150 N and the other pus
Makovka662 [10]

The force of friction is 330 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the crate in this problem, we have 3 forces acting on it:

- The force applied by the 1st child, F_1 = 150 N forward

- The force applied by the 2nd child, F_2 = 180 N

- The force of friction, F_f, acting backward

So the net  force is

\sum F = F_1 + F_2 - F_f

We also know that the crate remains stationary, which means that its acceleration is zero:

a = 0

Therefore, we can rewrite Newton's second law as

F_1 + F_2 - F_f = 0

From which we find

F_f = F_1+F_2 = 150 + 180 =330 N
