The acceleration due to gravity is less at the top of mt. everest because its so far from the center of the earth .
Answer:
His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases
The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.
Explanation:
Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression
, so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.
When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.
Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.
mgh+
= Constant
The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.
1. It is in orbit around the Sun
2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium
3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit
Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'
1.A
2. C
3. Not Sure
4. Not Sure
5. Biometrics can help to identify
who's at risk for injuries and when
they're able to safely return, and
they can gauge athlete readiness to
determine when they'll be
performing at an optimal level.
