By definition we have that the energy at the top of the ramp is equal to the energy at the bottom of the ramp. This is due to the principle of energy conservation.
We have then:
The energy at the top is only potential energy:
Where,
- <em>m: mass
</em>
- <em>g: acceleration of gravity
</em>
- <em>h: vertical height of the ramp
</em>
The energy when it falls is transformed into kinetic energy and therefore:
Where,
- <em>v: object speed.
</em>
Therefore we have:
Answer:
The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
I think its true. hope this helps.
The state of matter that has particles that slide by one another is liquid because liquid is very slippery.
In order to make things easier to describe and explain, let's call
the resistance of each bulb 'R', and the battery voltage 'V'.
a). In series, the total resistance is 3R.
In parallel, the total resistance is R/3.
Changing from series to parallel, the total resistance of the circuit
decreases to 1/9 of its original value.
b). In series, the total current is V / (3R) .
In parallel, the total current is 3V / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the total current in the circuit
increases to 9 times its original value.
c). In series, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · V/3R = V² / 3R .
In parallel, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · 3V/R = 3V² / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the power dissipated by
the circuit (also the power delivered by the battery) increases
to 9 times its original value.
