Your answer is C. Because Heat from the earth's interior that fuels convection currents which moves the crustal plates on the earth's surface.

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positive

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be " $-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$ ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒ $U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}$

The expression of force will be,

⇒ $F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}$

⇒ $=-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})$

⇒ $=-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.

Two blocks are connected by a light weight, flexible cord that passes over a frictionless pulley.Ifm1=2 kg and m2 = 3 kg, and bl

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

t = 1.41 sec.

Explanation:

If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.

First, we need to find the value of acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.

If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:

F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)

⇒ a = ( $\frac{(m₂-m₁)}({m₁+m₂} * g$ = g/5 m/s²

Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:

Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
