The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by the forces on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy.
Answer:
They all have the characteristic "energy" in common
Explanation:
Energy is power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light / heat or to work machines. X-rays, UV Light Waves, Sound Waves, and Earthquake Waves all have energy.
As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.
A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
It's important for scientists to know the properties of matter because all things are made up of matter. Each type of matter has different physical characteristics and scientists need to know and understand these characteristics to make calculations. The main phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
