Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy

of the skateboarder as they ride up and down the ramp.
Elisa: I think the skateboarder has the more total energy at the top bottom of the ramp than the bottom of the ramp.

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp.

Which student do you agree with? Why?

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

Do you think ill look better in a french braid or a bun for a figure skating show.
Setler [38]
Hmmm...both seem beautiful, but if you're good at keeping them in then either on if fine, but buns make you seem elegant. While french braids make you look...I don't know...natural? But in my opinion, buns are easy to do and make people look good.

A car moves in a straight line at a speed of 68.5 km/h. How far (in km) will the car move in 5.45 minutes at this speed?
AlekseyPX
If you divide 68.5 km/h by 60 (the minutes in an hour) and then you get 1.141 then you multiply it by 5.45 and you get 6.222!


Your Answer is 6.222!!!!

A gas-filled balloon is submerged in a fluid. As a result, the balloon is subject to inward forces from all sides. How does the
enyata [817]

As we presume that the fluid density is greater than the gas density based on common sense, the volume of the balloon decreases. The mass per unit volume is known as fluid density.

Greek letter stands in for and (rho). Mass per length squared, or M/L3, is the unit of measurement for density. Specific Weight vs. Weight Density: A fluid density, also known as specific density, is determined by dividing the fluid's weight by its volume. Weight per volume of a fluid is also referred to as weight density.

A mathematical term called "volume" describes how much three-dimensional space is occupied by an item or a closed surface. The measurement of volume is done in cubic units, like m3, cm3, in3, etc.

A sling is used to give a stone an initial velocity of 20 at an angle of 30 above the horizontal. The stone travels through the
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Explanation:

Normally, ignoring air resistance, for projectile motion, the range (horizontal distance teavelled) of the motion is given as

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

where

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 20 m/s

θ = angle above the horizontal at which the projectile was launched = 30°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (30² sin 60°) ÷ 9.8

R = 78.53 m

So, Normally, the stone should travel a horizontal distance of 78.53 m. So, travelling a horizontal distance of 32 m (less than half of what the range should be without air resistance) means that, the motion of the stone was impeded, hence, option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Hope this Helps!!!

A trolley of mass 4 kg moves with a velocity of 0.5 meter per second It colides with a stationary trolley of mass 3 kg. If the t
Luda [366]

Answer:

Approximately 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Make use of the fact that total momentum is conserved in collisions.

The momentum of an object of mass m and velocity v is p = m\, v.

The momentum of the two trolleys before the collision would be:

  • 4\; {\rm kg} \times 0.5\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.
  • 3\; {\rm kg} \times 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Thus, the total momentum of the two trolleys right before the collision would be 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Since the two trolleys are stuck to one another after the collision, they could modelled as one big trolley of mass m = 3\; {\rm kg} + 4\; {\rm kg} = 7\; {\rm kg}.

The momentum of the two trolleys, combined, is conserved during the collision. Thus, the total momentum of the new trolley of mass m = 7\; {\rm kg} would continue to be v = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} shortly after the collision.

Rearrange the equation p = m\, v to find the velocity of the two trolleys combined:

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{7\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.
