1) The most potential energy is at position A

2) The most kinetic energy is at position C

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by the equation

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the equation, we see that the potential energy is directly proportional to the heigth of the object: therefore, the roller coaster in this problem will have the most potential energy at its highest postion, so at position A.

2)

The total mechanical energy of the roller coaster at any point along the track is given by

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

Assuming there is no friction, the mechanical energy E is constant. This means that when PE increases, KE decreases, and when PE increases, KE decreases.

Therefore, the cart will have maximum kinetic energy when the potential energy is at minimum: and since the potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the track, this will occur at the lowest position, so at position C.

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and ________ energy.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.

Types of mechanical energy

1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)

2. Stored energy(potential energy)

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

stiv31 [10]
It is about 95%. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV is an IQ test that is given by therapists and measures worldwide scholarly working. It incorporates both verbal and nonverbal parts. The normal score for all tests and subtests is 100; therefore, a score of more than 100 is better than expected and beneath 100 is underneath normal.
