<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of an object is 72.0 kg
  • Velocity of the body before it hits the ground is 79.0 m/s

We are required to determine the relationship between the potential energy and kinetic energy before the fall.

  • When an object is at the highest point, it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
  • This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the earth's surface.
  • On the other hand, when an object attains the highest speed it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum kinetic energy.

In this case;

  • The velocity of the object when hitting the ground is maximum and thus the object will have maxim,um kinetic energy.
  • As the object falls towards the ground the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, the potential energy at the beginning will be equal to the kinetic energy at the end when the object is on the ground.
  • We can therefore, conclude that, (PE)beginning = (KE)end

Which of the following statements concerning the lab is TRUE?
Over [174]

Answer:

(b) To get m3 to slide, m1 must be increased, never decreased.

Explanation:

Lab experiments require attentiveness. If there is one thing missed or not taken seriously whole experiment could go wrong. In this case to slide m3 there should be more weight at m1. If the weight of m1 is lesser than m3 then the object will not slide. It will remain at the point where there is more weight. To slide an object there must be less frictional surface and more weight placed at the desired end point.

Answer:

Natural gas is non renewable energy.

Explanation:

Because they were formed from the buried reamains of plants and animals that live a million years ago. It is formed from fossil fuels.
