Gravitational potential energy is caused when an object is resting above the ground. It is released when the object is falling, not by burning substances.

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.
elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car
FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s

You comb your hair and the comb becomes negatively charged. Strictly speaking, how will the mass of your hair change? A. it wil
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

C. it will not change.

Explanation:

While combing, the rubbing of the comb with the hair, transfer of electron takes place from the hair to the comb and the comb becomes negatively charged. But, this transfer of electron does not make any considerable change in the mass of the hair. This is because the mass of an electron is highly negligible. Now, neglecting the mass of an electron, the transfer of the electrons from the hair to the comb makes charging of the comb, but no loss of mass in the hair. So, the mass of hair will no change.

A 2.26 kg book is dropped from a height 1.5m what is its acceleration
Arada [10]
The answer is 9.8 ms^-2, because there is only one force acting on the object so the acceleration will be numerically equal to the gravitational field strength.
