Your potential energy at the top of the hill was (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .
Your kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill is (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² .
If there was no loss of energy on the way down, then your kinetic energy
at the bottom will be equal to your potential energy at the top.
(1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
Divide each side by 'mass' :
(1/2) x (speed)² = (gravity) x (height) . . . The answer we get
will be the same for every skater, fat or skinny, heavy or light.
The skater's mass doesn't appear in the equation any more.
Multiply each side by 2 :
(speed)² = 2 x (gravity) x (height)
Take the square root of each side:
<u>Speed at the bottom = square root of(2 x gravity x height of the hill)</u>
We could go one step further, since we know the acceleration of gravity on Earth:
Speed at the bottom = 4.43 x square root of (height of the hill)
This is interesting, because it says that a hill twice as high won't give you
twice the speed at the bottom. The final speed is only proportional to the
<em>square root </em>of the height, so in order to double your speed, you need to
find a hill that's <em>4 times</em> as high.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Hypotheses are supposed to be tested, to be proven correct. They usually start from a small thought without 100% correct, but as you do further testing, they become stronger.
Answer:
Decrease in the object's maximum kinetic energy is caused by loss of energy by the system to its immediate surroundings.
Explanation:
None of the options are correct because for an object spring system, maximum kinetic energy is reduced when the system loses energy to the immediate surrounding.
Thus, decrease in the object's maximum kinetic energy is caused by loss of energy by the system to its immediate surroundings.
Answer:
5 atoms of Boron
Explanation:
Boron makes up approximately 15.944% of the mass and the rest of the 84.056% is Fluorine. There is 5 Atoms because Boron atomic mass is 10.811 in 1 molecule of BF3 and you wanted 5 Molecules.
