 <span>PE = mass * height * g = 87.60 J 

Frictional force = m * g * sin theta * uk = 4.7 kg * 9.81 m/sec^2 * sin 36.87 * 0.3 = 8.299 N 

Work done by friction = force * distance = 41.50 J 

Remaining energy to be converted to KE = 87.60 J - 41.50 J = 41.10 J</span>hope it helps

Answer:

The PE associated with that height is given as, m×g×h

Explanation:

Potential energy (PE) is the energy possessed by an object when at rest. Its opposite is the kinetic energy (KE). When an object is at a certain height, it would possess potential energy because initially it is at rest. Also the value of the energy is determined by its mass, height and the force of gravity acting on it at that height.

So, the potential energy (PE) = mass× height× value of the gravitational force

                                                = m× g× h

Its unit is Joules. The potential energy of the mass would be converted to kinetic energy when it is in motion.

How is momentum conserved is a Newton's cradle when one steel ball hits the other
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Newton's Cradle experiment perfectly demonstrates the law of conservation of momentum which states that in a closed system, momentum before the collision is equal to momentum after the collision of the system.

As the first ball swings in the air, it gains momentum. When it strikes the second ball, it loses momentum and second ball gains equal amount of momentum. The second ball transfers the momentum to third, then fourth and till the last. The last ball when gains the same momentum swings up in the air. This continues. This experiment is done in drag free condition. This means there is no loss of momentum or opposing forces present.

A color that is almost gray has a ________ saturation.
Mama L [17]
<span>When we see a solid color that is red, blue, or black let's say, it is said to have a high saturation of color. A color that is almost gray has very little or very saturation. Of course, the amount of gray can vary greatly but for the most part a color that is almost gray has little or no saturation at all.</span>

Aerosol cans use compressed gases to propel the contents out of the can. Which of the following is the best explanation for why
vovangra [49]

Answer:

As the can heats, the compressed gases will expand, causing the can to explode

Explanation:

We know that the gases in the aerosol can would assume the shape and volume of the can. The volume of the can would be the volume of the compressed gas.

As heat is added to the can, the aerosol gases would gain kinetic energy and their speed would increase. The gases would begin to expand and would require more space in order to move. This would indirectly increase the pressures between gas molecules and the walls of the can as collisions soars.  

A point would eventually be reached where the gas agitation would lead to an explosion.

Overheated aerosol cans would explode.

The thermal energy in a heat engine is used to move a piston. Which best describes why this is possible?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

  • The increase in entropy is directly related to the increase in temperature. So the thermal energy in heat engine increases the temperature of that surrounding.
  • Higher temperature means the kinetic energy of particles is also higher, their vibration is increasing. So it increases the pressure (ideal gas law).
  • In this way the increment in the thermal energy in heat engine moves piston by increasing the pressure.
