-What can you say about the snowboarder’s kinetic energy as he moves?

Physics
1 answer:
Damm [24]3 years ago
7 0

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 \frac{1}{2} mv^2, 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+\frac{1}{2} mv^2= Constant

How is work defined in physics
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.

ASAP if you answer right I will mark brainiest....
rjkz [21]

Answer: *The inner planet that has two moons is Mars * the only planet in the Solar System with clockwise rotation is Venus * The surface of Mercury is covered with ancient magma ( which is similar to the spews of volcanoes on  Earth as well) * The planet that is closest to Earth is Mercury * Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet * Earth's moon formed when a(n)  can sometimes be called the Big Splash or can be called the Theia impact (Luna the moon formed from the ejecta of the collision between the Proto- Earth and Mars sized planet) * Mars is called the red planet because it's soil contains the element iron oxide ( which is the compound that gives blood and rust hue)  

Explanation: Hope this helped :)
