Answer:

Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy

friction work decreases kinetic energy

Explanation:

The law of conservation of  the mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy plus the different forms of potential energy, this energy is constant throughout the trajectory if the dissipative force (friction) is zero.

Let us apply this to our case, in the upper part of the trajectory almost all the mechanical energy is potential, and a very small part is kinetic, the bicycle goes very slowly, as it descends without pedaling the speed increases so that the kinetic energy it increases and the height decreases therefore the potential energy decreases, but the sum of the two energies remains constant.

Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy

When the brakes are applied, a dissipative force enters the system that causes part of the energy to be transformed into heat and part into work of this dissipative force against the wheel, two resulting in a net decrease in mechanical energy and therefore a decrease in the speed of the bicycle, the value of this decrease is given by

Answer:

D thermal energy moves from the marshmallow to your fingers as you touch the marshmallow

Explanation:

Conduction is the movement of thermal energy without the actual movement of the particles of a body. They particles only collide with each other and transfer energy in the process while maintaining their mean positions.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

Answer A

The gauge pressure in the tires of your car is 210 kPa (30.5 psi) when the temperature is 25°C (77 °F). Several days later it is
DaniilM [7]

Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa

P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)

T = 25°C = 298.15K

Final P and T values:

P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

311.325/298.15 = P/273.15

P = 285.220kPa

Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:

285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa

The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.

A baseball 0.145kg is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/s. Use the law of conservation of energy to find
kvasek [131]

Answer: 20.4m

Explanation:

Mass = 0.145kg

Initial velocity, Vi =20m/s

Initial kinetic energy K =1/2mv^2

Initial potential energy Ui = mgx = 0joules

: From conservation of energy,

Uf + Kf = Ui + Ki ( where f represent (final) )

Thus

mgXf + 0 = 0+1/2 mv^2

Xf = Vi^2/ 2g

= (20m/s) ^2/ 2(9.81m/s)^2

=20.4m
