Gravitational potential energy.

As the rider falls, the GPE is converted into kinetic energy.

He gets it from the huge motor that lifts the cars and people to the top of the first hill and then let's them go.

Which term describes the number of crests that pass a point in a given amount of time

joja [24]

The term is frequency.

The frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time or the number of waves that passes a point per unit of time.

Every crest (and every trough) represents a pass of the wave so you can count the number of crests in an intervavl of time to find the frequency as the number of crests divided by the time elapsed.

As mentioned in the text, the tangent line to a smooth curve r(t) = ƒ(t)i + g(t)j + h(t)k at t = t0 is the line that passes thro

LiRa [457]

Answer:

$x = t$

$y = \frac{1}{3}t$

$z =t$

Explanation:

Given

$r(t) = f(t)i + g(t)j + h(t)k$ at $t = 0$

Point: $(f(t0), g(t0), h(t0))$

$r(t) = ln\ t_i + \frac{t-1}{t+2}j + t\ ln\ tk$ , $t0 = 1$ -- Missing Information

Required

Determine the parametric equations

$r(t) = ln\ ti + \frac{t-1}{t+2}j + t\ ln\ tk$

Differentiate with respect to t

$r'(t) = \frac{1}{t}i +\frac{3}{(t+2)^2}j + (ln\ t + 1)k$

Let t = 1 (i.e $t0 = 1$ )

$r'(1) = \frac{1}{1}i +\frac{3}{(1+2)^2}j + (ln\ 1 + 1)k$

$r'(1) = i +\frac{3}{3^2}j + (0 + 1)k$

$r'(1) = i +\frac{3}{9}j + (1)k$

$r'(1) = i +\frac{1}{3}j + (1)k$

$r'(1) = i +\frac{1}{3}j + k$

To solve for x, y and z, we make use of:

$r(t) = f(t)i + g(t)j + h(t)k$

This implies that:

$r'(1)t = xi + yj + zk$

So, we have:

$xi + yj + zk = (i +\frac{1}{3}j + k)t$

$xi + yj + zk = it +\frac{1}{3}jt + kt$

By comparison:

$xi = it$

Divide by i

$x = t$

$yj = \frac{1}{3}jt$

Divide by j

$y = \frac{1}{3}t$

$zk = kt$

Divide by k

$z = t$

Hence, the parametric equations are:

$x = t$

$y = \frac{1}{3}t$

$z =t$

How is energy involved in physical changes and in chemical changes?

GaryK [48]

During phase changes, energy changes are usually involved. For example, when solid dry ice vaporizes (physical change), carbon dioxide molecules absorb energy. Meanwhile, when liquid water becomes ice energy is released.

hope this helps :)

The ____________ law of thermodynamics states that every time energy is transformed from one form to another, some of that energ

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The Second or the Entropy law of thermodynamics states that every time energy is transformed from one form to another, some of that energy is converted to heat. That means there is never 100% conversion of one form of usable energy to another. Because Heat is not available to do work , the usable amount of energy is wasted each time an energy conversion occurs.
