At the highest point: kinetic energy is 0 due to the speed  is 0

So the total mechanical energy is 20

Assume no frictions present, then the mechanical energy is conserved

So at the lowest point, kinetic energy = mechanical energy - potential energy

Answer will be 20 - 0.5 = 19.5 J

Complete the sentences below correctly. Stunt Car A and Stunt Car B are identical cars with the same mass of 48.9 kg. They are b
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Stunt Car A experiences a large force over a short period of time. Stunt Car B experiences a small force over a long period of time. Because of the force experienced by Stunt Car A, it will sustain more damage than Stunt Car B.

Explanation:

Both cars have the same mass and velocity, therefore they have the same momentum. During the collision, the total momentum of the car A and brick wall is conserved as well as the total momentum of the car B and the pile of leaves.

However, if we are to investigate the damage on each car, we should look at the cars not the whole system. So, the momentum difference between the cars gives us the impulse that the car felt.

\vec{J} = \Delta \vec{P}\\\vec{F}\Delta t = \vec{P}_2 - \vec{P}_1

Since the Car A will crash the wall quicker than the other car crashes through the pile of leaves,

\Delta t_1 < \Delta t_2

which gives us

F_1 > F_2

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.

What is latent heat energy's definiton
tamaranim1 [39]
The heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of a substance is called its latent heat. Latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of the particles of the substance, so the temperature of a substance does not rise during the change of state. :))
