I sort of understand but what does it mean by.... Another?
The answer is (A) hope it helps
<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>
Answer: THE ANSWER IS C!
The total energy of a system can decrease only if energy leaves the system.
Explanation: Apex!
Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2
Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.
We have for the car
distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s
the v car = distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s
In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest
distance train = (a* t^2)/2
distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed
so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m
the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2
