I would like to know why this is the correct answer
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First, the obvious, as you press the gas pedal harder the acceleration goes up as well.  Conversely, is you do not press the pedal, you will not accelerate.  This determines that is I press the gas pedal, it will CAUSE the car to accelerate.  This proves causation.

Now, correlation.  The definition of correlation in statistics is any statistical relationship between two random variables or data.  This simply means that these two events are connected to one another.  A POSITIVE correlation is when two correlated events move in the same direction as one another.  I have added a graph to help visualize this.  In this problem as the gas is pressed harder, the acceleration increases.  If the pressure on the pedal was decreased, then the acceleration also decreases.  If the pressure on the pedal is constant, the the acceleration is constant.

I hope this helps!

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum
skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.
