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.

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

KE = q

½ mv² = mCΔT

ΔT = v² / (2C)

ΔT = (200 m/s)² / (2 × 236 J/kg/°C)

ΔT = 84.7°C

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2
Otrada [13]
A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single<span> uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.

When the steel ball drops on the constant velocity cart, it follows a ____ path in the frame of reference fixed to the ____, but
Effectus [21]

Answer:

PARABOLIC, EARTH, VERTICAL, INERTIAL ang PHYSICAL LAWS

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to complete the missing words.

When the steel ball falls on the constant speed car, it follows a PARABOLIC path in the reference frame fixed to EARTH, but a VERTICAL straight line in the reference frame of the constant speed car. Without a fixed frame of reference, you cannot tell whether or not you are in an INERTIAL frame of reference. All frames of reference that move at constant speed relative to each other are PHYSICAL LAWS__equivilent__.
