Answer:
Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.
First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.
Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)
Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Based on the above, the best choice would be:<span>d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.</span>
We know that:
d=vt
d=32mph*5h
d=160mi
Answer:
-6112.26 J
Explanation:
The initial kinetic energy,
is given by
} where m is the mass of a body and
is the initial velocity
The final kinetic energy,
is given by
where
is the final velocity
Change in kinetic energy,
is given by

Since the skater finally comes to rest, the final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for
and 12.6 m/s for
and 77 Kg for m we obtain

From work energy theorem, work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy hence for this case work done equals <u>-6112.26 J</u>
