Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.
Static friction is the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting.
frictional force occurs when you try to push an object alongside a surface.
Answer:
500J
Explanation:
The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.
This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".
- The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
- This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
- This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
