Explanation:

When the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases.

Every time the skater bounces from the impact, thermal energy is gained, and both potential and kinetic energy are lost.

What is the difference in quark model of a meson and a baryon?

dangina [55]

Mesons are made of a valence quark−antiquark pair (thus have a baryon number of 0), while baryons are made of three quarks (thus have a baryon number of 1).

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.
