Answer:

Kinetic energy at the bottom equals potential energy at the top hence 269971.2  J

Explanation:

Assuming no friction and neglecting air resistance, from the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy that the car posses at 32 m is all converted to kinetic energy hence

PE= mgh

KE= 0.5mv^{2}

Here m denotes the mass of the car, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height and v is the speed of the car

The potential energy will be PE= 860*9.81*32=269971.2  J

If a Styrofoam ball and a steel ball are the exact same size & shape,which has more mass?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Steel

Explanation:

Mass is density times volume.

m = ρV

Since they have the same size and shape, they have the same volume.

Steel has a higher density than Styrofoam, so at the same volume, the steel ball will have more mass.

How are intensity sound and energy related
zubka84 [21]
Sound is a form of energy in that it consists fluctuations of air pressure . The speed of the fluctuations is measured in cycles per second or Hertz (HZ)

Intensity is how large the fluctuations are, also known as amplitude and for the sound the unit is decibels of sonic pressure level (dB SPL)
