Answer:
Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).
Explanation:
Answer:
Elastic Potential Energy
Explanation:
Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.
The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.
