When the winch is pulling it up it's first hill, it is losing it's energy to give it to the coaster.  It starts gaining energy because its height.  Then when it goes down the hill, gravity kicks in and the potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

A sportscar has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on t
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

7500 Newtons

Explanation:

Mass of the sportscar= 1500 kg

Acceleration of the sportscar= 5m/s^2

Hence, let the Force acting on it be F

We\ know\ that,\\Force=Mass*Acceleration\\F=ma\\\\Here,\\F=1500*5\\=7500 kg m/s^2\ or\ 7500\ Newtons

Answer:

The answer is 218

Explanation:

Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration

weight is represented by F

F = 25kg (8.7)

(I'm pretty sure that you don't have to include the meters per second/per second thing)
