Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.

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

Look at paths of the projectiles. What effect does air resistance have on the projectile?
inna [77]

Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction

Explanation:

The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.

Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.

On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.

The smallest level of organization in living things is
Advocard [28]
The smallest level of organization in living things is the atom.

Next in line would be the cell, since a cell is made up of atoms working together. Next, cells working together would make up a tissue, and further, tissues working together would make up an organ.
