Potential energy is directly related to the height of an object. Point 1 is higher than point 4, so the potential energy is greater at point 1.

The most probable answer would be Point 1 is higher than Point 4.


Potential gravitational energy is computed by the formula:


PEgrav =mgh

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (this is a constant value of 9.8m/s²)

h = height


The roller coaster of course, no matter where in the track it is would have the same mass (Unless someone falls off -_-) Pull of gravity is the same as well.


So the only factor that would affect it is the height. So if the height goes up, the potential energy goes up too. If the height goes down, then the potential energy goes down too.


Hopefully you'll come up with the right answer with this. v(0-0)v

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2,000 kg car possessing 3,000 kg.m/s of<br> momentum?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The product of the mass and the volume is known as momentum.

According to the law of momentum, it is stated that the two or more bodies remain in a constant state unless an external force is applied in an isolated room.

Momentum depends on the following:-

Mass

Velocity

Momentum = MASS \ X \ VOLUMEMomentum=MASS X VOLUME

\begin{gathered}momentum = 3000kgm/s\\\\mass = 2000kg\\\\velocity =\frac{momentum}{mass}\\\\v= \frac{3000}{2000} \\\\v= 1.5m/s\end{gathered}

momentum=3000kgm/s

mass=2000kg

velocity=

v=

storchak [24]

It describes the river water going faster and slower which affects the force on the sediment particles. The heavier particles settle due to smaller force from slower water. The answer is C) The greater the force of the water, the faster the particle accelerates.
