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

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center  of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is  in the earths orbit.
