I know this question is from 2017 but I am doing this for anyone else that is looking for a answer. The answer should be C.) Allowed psychology to be considered a science.
Answer:(a) With our choice for the zero level for potential energy of the car-Earth system when the car is at point B ,
U
B
=0
When the car is at point A, the potential energy of the car-Earth system is given by
U
A
=mgy
where y is the vertical height above zero level. With 135ft=41.1m, this height is found as:
y=(41.1m)sin40.0
0
=26.4m
Thus,
U
A
=(1000kg)(9.80m/s
2
)(26.4m)=2.59∗10

J
The change in potential energy of the car-Earth system as the car moves from A to B is
U
B
−U
A
=0−2.59∗10
5
J=−2.59∗10
5
J
(b) With our choice of the zero configuration for the potential energy of the car-Earth system when the car is at point A, we have U
A
=0. The potential energy of the system when the car is at point B is given by U
B
=mgy, where y is the vertical distance of point B below point A. In part (a), we found the magnitude of this distance to be 26.5m. Because this distance is now below the zero reference level, it is a negative number.
Thus,
Electrons
the in an atom move about in the space surrounding the nucleus
Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).
