Took a wild guess and got it correct. The answer is B Kinetic Energy increases and potential energy decreases.

<span>At first when the car is at the datum point where is no elevation, the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy is zero. As it travel the path and goes upward the kinetic enrgy decreases while the potential energy increases. When it goes down again the kinetic enrgy increases again while the potential energy decreases </span>

Richard Julius once made a model plane that could travel a max speed of 110 m/s. Suppose the plane was held in a circular path b
hjlf

Answer:

85.8 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the length of the circular path, L the plane travels is

L = rθ where r = radius of path and θ = angle covered

Now,its speed , v = dL/dt = drθ/dt = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

where dθ/dt = ω = angular speed = v'/r where v' = maximum speed of plane and r = radius of circular path

Now, from θ = θ₀ + ωt where θ₀ = 0 rad, ω = angular speed  and t = time,

θ = θ₀ + ωt = 0 + ωt = ωt

So, v = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

v = rω + ωtdr/dt

v = (r + tdr/dt)ω

v = (r + tdr/dt)v'/r

v = v' + tv'/r(dr/dt)

v = v'[1 + t(dr/dt)/r]

Given that v' = 110 m/s, t = 33.0s, r = 120 m and dr/dt = rate at which line is shortened = -0.80 m/s (negative since it is decreasing)

So, v = 110 m/s[1 + 33.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/120 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/40 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.02/s)]

v = 110 m/s[1 - 0.22]

v = 110 m/s(0.78)

v = 85.8 m/s

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. it suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
Sphinxa [80]

M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg

m = mass of the seal = 200 kg

V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s

v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?

Using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = (M + m) V'

inserting the above values in the equation

(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'

6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'

V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)

V' = 5 m/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be connected in “Series”, when they are daisy chained together in a single line. Since all the current flowing through the first resistor has no other way to go it must also pass through the second resistor and the third and so on. Then, resistors in series have a Common Current flowing through them as the current that flows through one resistor must also flow through the others as it can only take one path.

Total Resistance = R₁ + R₂ +R₃ +R₄ ohm

Note then that the total or equivalent resistance, R has the same effect on the circuit as the original combination of resistors as it is the algebraic sum of the individual resistances.

Total resistance R = 3 + 3 + 3 +3

                             = 12 ohm
