<h2>Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy , KE = 0.5mv²

Here car speeds up to four times the initial speed, we need to find ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy.

Final speed = 4 x Initial speed = 4v

Initial KE = 0.5mv²

Final KE = 0.5 x m x (4v)²

Final KE = 16 x 0.5 x m x v²

Final KE = 16 x Initial KE

Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?
Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

Which of the following accurately describes the behavior of water when subject to temperature change? A. The volume of water wil
nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes.  But
water does contract in volume during that change.)
