The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.
As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
Answer:
Explanation:
In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…
Answer:
D. shortest wavelength
Explanation:
Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.
A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.
- Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
- The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.
Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:
E = h f = 
E is the energy
h is the Planck's constant
f is the frequency.
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.
Hope this helps
Answer: 1.2m/s^2
Explanation: the force exerted on the car is 900N upwards
The mass of the car is 750kg
According to Newton's third law acceleration is proportional to force
F = ma
900 = 750a
a = 900/750
a = 1.2m/s^2
