Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.
Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg
Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s
We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * 400
= 200000 Joules
So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.
i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson
Answer:
It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors
Explanation:
It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician
In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.
