Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t

he second slide be shaped to provide the same change in gravitational potential energy of the child-Earth system but more change in kinetic energy for the child while they slide down

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

F_f=F_N*\µ

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\

for 75 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.

What is the correct path of electrons?
MrRa [10]

Electrons are transferred sequentially between the two photosystems, with photosystem I acting to generate NADPH and photosystem II acting to generate ATP. The pathway of electron flow starts at photosystem II, which is homologous to the photosynthetic reaction center of R. viridis already described.

There are planets in the universe without a parent star. most all stars have planets. most stars are binary. true false
Ghella [55]

True : yes there are planets in the universe without a parent star called

rogue planets.

False :  most stars are not binary

What is rogue planets ?

planets which do not orbits the planetary system is known as roque planets. For example, pluto. Rogue planets can be smaller and bigger than jupiter too.

Free-floating planets or rogue planets without orbits around stars may also harbor life, some scientists believe. Due to the gravitational effects of giant planets within their system, these planets get kicked out of their system like any other planets formed around stars.

no most stars are not binary, binary which means two stars orbit around the common center and approximately only 40 binary stars have been found till not in our solar system.

What effect do increasing amounts of greenhouse gases have on earth and the organisms that live here?
pickupchik [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The increasing amounts of greenhouse gases causes climate change and global warming, sea level rises and oceans become warmer.

When prolonged into the future and no actions are being taken; drastic droughts will happen which threatens agricultural in an extreme manner, wildlife living in the forests will be pressurized, and animals/organisms living in the ocean will be affected too due to rising temperature causing the reduced Oxygen effects.

The examples include: the melting of Arctic ice endangering the polar bears, fishes and aquatic marines will die at part of the oceans which has higher temperature (lack of oxygen), poorer regions will have adverse impacts on the human being due to agriculture deterioration and lack of proper system and social readiness to adapt to climate change.

To fight climate change, we must reduce carbon pollution (burning of coals which releases large carbon dioxide/monoxide etc.) through setting up of policies by multinational companies, greener business to reduce emissions, and help people to adapt to climate change or at least educate people about climate change.
