Answer:

The Kinetic Energy decreases. The Total Energy stays the same

Explanation:

The TE stays the same, so if PE increases then KE will decrease.

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is theown downwand with an iniial velocily of 29 us frm op of a building that is

Helen [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock will strike the ground $2.42s$ earlier than the dropped rock.

Explanation:

Known Data

$y_{i}=300m$

$y_{f}=0m$
$v_{iD}=0m/s$
$v_{iT}=-29m/s$ , it is negative as is directed downward

Time of the dropped Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300m-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})t_{D}^{2}}{2}$ , then clearing for $t_{D}$ .

$t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s$

Time of the Thrown Rock

We can use $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find the total time of fall, so $0=300-29t_{T}-\frac{(9.8)t_{T}^{2}}{2}$ , then, $0=-4.9t_{T}^{2}-29t_{T}+300$ , as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is $t_{T}=5.4s$

Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so $t_{E}=t_{D}-t_{T}=7.82s-5.4s=2.42s$

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.

When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

Atomic radius moving from left to right across a period,

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period.

Explanation:

When we move left to right across a period, the size of atoms generally decreases. It is because within the period the outer electrons are in same valence shell and the number of electrons and proton increases moving from left to right across the the period. It increases the effective nuclear charge resulting in the increased attraction of electron to the nucleus that causes the decreased radius of the atoms.
