-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.
If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.
In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.
If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.
Answer:
-8.04 m/s2
Explanation:
To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:
You plug into the equation to get:
solve for a to get
-8.04 m/s2
Answer:
B: Energy that is transformed is neither created or destroyed
Explanation:
Keep cool by being active at night, whereas some other desert animals get away from the sun's heat by digging underground burrows.
