<u>Answer
</u>
A. 1 and 2
<u>Explanation
</u>
At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.
At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.
The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.
P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.
From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.
This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.
When an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, then that object will accelerate.
The impact of the material
type with which the slope is made affects the acceleration. Acceleration will
be higher and smoother if the material of the slope surface is smoother as
opposed to a texture which is not smooth. Smoother surface allows more acceleration
because it will have less friction and resistance. Otherwise the friction will
slow the object down for example a grassy ground will have more friction than a
well maintained marble floor.
Answer:
a) 4.31 m/s²
b) 215.5 m
Explanation:
a) According to Newton's first law of motion
The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to
F = ma
F = 140 N
m = 32.5 kg
a = ?
140 = 32.5 × a
a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²
b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s
u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)
a = 4.31 m/s²
t = 10 s
s = distance travelled = ?
s = ut + at²/2
s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m
Question:
What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
Answer:
Disadvantages of Nuclear Power
The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.
