If you are not considering friction, the energy must be the same, therefore, kinetic energy will be constant.
Naya [18.7K]4 years ago

If an object whose mass is growing keeps the same, unchanged
kinetic energy, then its motion must slow down, because

        Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

Why do things cling in magnets
Ber [7]

A magnet is any object that has a magnetic field. It attracts ferrous objects like pieces of iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. In the early days, the Greeks observed that the naturally occurring 'lodestone' attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the journey into the discovery of magnets.

These days magnets are made artificially in various shapes and sizes depending on their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet - is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One end of the compass needle points in the North direction and the other end points in the South direction.

The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the North-South direction. The end that points in the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other.

What are the similarities and differences between meiosis and mitosis?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: They both produce new cells, and start both with a single parent cell for similarities. For differences, Meiosis has only 8 stages in total, while mitosis is 4 stages in total. And for the Meiosis, it produces 4 haploid cells, and mitosis, only produces 2 haploid cells. These are the similarities and differences.

Hope this helped!

Find the acceleration of a train whose speed increases from 7m/s to 17 m/s in 120s
Ksenya-84 [330]
Initial speed of the train = 7 m/s
Final speed of the train = 17 m/s
Change of speed of the train = (17 - 7) m/s
                                               = 10 m/s
Time taken for the change of the speed of the train = 120 s
Then
Acceleration of the train = Change of speed of the train/Time taken for the change of speed
                                       = 10/120 m/s^2
                                       = 1/12 m/s^2
                                       = 0.083 m/s^2
So the acceleration of the train is 1/12 meter per second square or 0.083 m/s^2. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

A solid spherical ball and a hollow spherical ball made out of the same material are released from rest at the top of a ramp. Th
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1 ) Distribution of mass within the ball

2 ) Height of the ramp

Explanation:

Acceleration of a rolling body down an inclined plane is given by the following formula

a = g sinθ / ( 1 + k² / R² )

k is radius of gyration , R is radius of the spherical object ,

when acceleration is more , velocity will also be more .

for objects in which masses are lying in the periphery like in hollow sphere , the value of k²/R² will be high so denominator of the expression will be high so acceleration will be less , hence velocity on reaching the bottom will be less.

On mass of the ball , velocity will not depend .

If height is increased , ball will have acceleration for greater time so velocity will be high.

On radius it will not depend because , radius r and k increases proportionately.
