C: the mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy was lost to friction. 
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

According to the law conservation of the mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy in a closed system remains constant in the absence of friction.

In the given problem, a child is sliding down a slide at the playground.

When a child is on the top of the slide then the he has more potential energy. When he starts slides down the slide then the kinetic energy starts increasing.

At the bottom of the slide, he has more kinetic energy.

But some energy is lost here due to friction. Hence, the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The greenhouse effect presentation summarized? ​
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.”

Explanation:

These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a "feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide's warming effect helps stabilize Earth's atmosphere. Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth's surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler.
