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.

A compunds whose empirical formula is xf3 consists of 65% f by mass. what is the atomic mass of x
Reika [66]

Empirical formula of compound is XF3

Compound consist of 65% F

In 100g of compound there is 65 g of F

= 65 / 19 moles of Fluorine = 3.421 moles

So moles of X = 3.421 / 3 = 1.140 moles

And in 100 g  X consist of 35 g

So the molar mass of X = 35 / 1.140 = 30.71 g = 31 approximately

And it is the mass of phosphorus

So the empirical formula for the compound is PX3

After the big bang, atoms in gas clouds experienced a greater gravitational pull to each other than atoms in other regions of th
allsm [11]
Answer:
These are the two statements with scientific facts that explain the described phenomenon
<span>
Gravitation between two objects increases when the distance between them decreases.</span>

When the mass of an object increases, its gravitational pull also increases.

Justification:

Those two facts are represented in the Universal Law of Gravity discovered by the scientific Sir Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727) and published in his book <span>Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.</span>

That law is represented by the equation:

F = G × m₁ × m₂ / d²

The product of the two masses on the numerator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, which is that as the masses increase the attraction also increase.

The term d² (square of the distance that separates the objects) in the denominator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance; that is as the separation of the objects increase the gravitational force decrease.

How much work is done to lift a 3N box to a shelf 2m above the ground
Kaylis [27]
When the box IS on the shelf 2m above the ground,
its potential energy is

(weight) x (height) = (3 N) x (2 m)  =  6 joules .

THAT's the work you have to do, to lift the box up to there.

How codominant inheritance patterns differ from dominant/recessive inheritance patterns
alekssr [168]
Its simple dominant and recessive inheritance patterns and organism would need two recessive alleles(rr) for the trait to be expressed but only one dominant allele for that trait to be expressed (RR or Rr) however in the case of co-dominant alleles the heterozygous state (Rr) would produce a third phenotype rather that the dominant phenotype.
