Answer: Apple at point D

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

$P.E=m\times g\times h$

m= mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity = $10ms^{-2}$

h = height of an object

Thus as can be seen from the relation, potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object, the apple with maximum height, at point D will have maximum potential energy.

D. Because as height increases, so does the potential energy.

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.

KatRina [158]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

In a freshwater lake
In the atmosphere
In Earth's mantle

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
<em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
<em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>

What is the maximum speed when the conditions are mass =450 kg, initial height= 30 m, and the roller coaster is initially at res

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster due to its height is given by;

$P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J$

$P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)$

$K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\ v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s$

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
