Answer:

d) v1 = v2 = v3

Explanation:

This can be answered using conservation of energy. We calculate the mechanical energy E=K+U (sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energies) at the original and final points, and impose they are equal.

At the original point we have, for the three balls:

E_i=K_i+U_i=\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+mgh_i=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh

At the final point we have, for the three balls:

E_f=K_f+U_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

Since we have E_i=E_f, and E_i is the same for all balls, then E_f is the same for all balls, which means that v_f, the final velocity, is the same for all balls.

Which statement best describes the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?
choli [55]
 <span>When temperature increases, particles in an object speed up, which means an increase in thermal energy. Since the particles are moving more now, the potential energy decreases, therefore kinetic energy increases. 

Overall, when temp goes up, thermal energy goes up, which leads to an increase in kinetic energy.</span>

Estimate and determine the order of magnitude of the circumference of the Earth in miles and the speed of a sailboat in miles pe
solmaris [256]

Answer:

= 1000 hours

Explanation:

Earth's circumference is 10⁴ mile

speed of a sailboat is 10¹ mile/hour

distance = speed × time

10⁴ = 10¹  × t

t = 10⁴ / 10¹

t = 10³

= 1000 hours

What are saturated and non saturated vapour? ​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

A saturated vapour is one that is in balance with its own liquid. Space is considered to be unsaturated if it contains fewer vapours than the maximum amount it can retain at a given temperature. Saturated vapour pressure is unaffected by volume, although it rises as temperature rises.

A parallel circuit has three branches. Each branch has a resistance of 37.5 ohms. The total current is 7.5 amps. What is the cur
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Current in each branch will be 2.5 A

Explanation:

We have given that a circuit has three branch each has a resistance of 37.5 ohm

We have also given that a total current of 7.5 A is flows through the circuit

As we know that in parallel circuit total current is the sum of current flowing through each branch

As the resistances of each branch is same so current will also be same

As there is 3 branches in circuit so current in each branch will be \frac{7.5}{3}=2.5A
