Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?

Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]4 years ago
6 0
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

Some lenses are shaped with one flat side and one spherically-shaped side. This shape is designed to focus parallel light rays o
Komok [63]

Answer:

Some lenses are used to focus light to a pre-defined point based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

In a piano design convex, some surfaces are flat while others has positive lenses (biconvex)

Explanation:

Solution

These lenses are applied to pay attention to light in a  point pre-defined  based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

For that of a plano-convex design, one surface has a positive curve and for biconvex lenses, both surfaces are positively curved while the other  remains flat.

when used practically, plano-convex lenses are most commonly used where the object being imaged is far apart from lens.

How do we know that salt mixing with water is not a chemical change?
taurus [48]

Explanation:

In contrast, dissolving a covalent compound like sugar does not result in a chemical reaction. When sugar is dissolved, the molecules disperse throughout the water, but they do not change their chemical identity.
