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

Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 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.

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?
liraira [26]
An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

What is the speed of sound for a noise that travels 2km in 5.8s?​
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.

Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.

So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.

Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.

A material that can be hit without shattering is?<br> viscous, flammable, hard, malleable
nika2105 [10]
Malleable

Malleability is a property of matter, that’s specializes in metals, in which these metals can be bended, twisted or formed into a thinner sheets, and not being able to shatter to pieces instead it can be formed into a new shape. Unlike the other three, take for instance hardness. If a hard object such as wood for example when used with an axe it breaks and it is lead to smithereens. Flammable like is when applied to fire can dramatically explode when hit it obviously breaks.

Raising 100 grams of water from 40 to 60 °C (the specific heat capacity of water is 1
ANTONII [103]
C. 2000 calories.

Explanation/calculation:

Specific heat capacity = calories / mass * (final temperature - initial temperature)

1 = calories / 100 * (60 - 40)
1 = calories / 100 * 20
1 * (100 * 20) = calories
1 * 2000 = calories
2000 = calories
