At the top:

         Potential Energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                       = (30 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3 meters)

                                       =      882 joules

At the bottom:

           Kinetic Energy  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                       = (1/2) x (30 kg) x (3 m/s)²

                                       =        (15 kg)  x  (9 m²/s²)

                                       =              135 joules .

He had  882 joules of potential energy at the top,
but only  135 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom.

Friction stole  (882 - 135) = 747 joules of his energy while he slid down.
The seat of his jeans must be pretty warm.

Suppose that a star has a spectrum that includes red, blue, and violet lines spaced in the pattern of the lines from hydrogen bu
ladessa [460]

Answer:

It can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer.

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving  toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest for this case is 434 nm and 410 nm (\lambda_{0} = 434nm, \lambda_{0} = 410nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured}  >  \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured}  <  \lambda_{0}

Since, \lambda_{measured} (444nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (434 nm) and \lambda_{measured} (420nm) is greater than \lambda_{0} (410 nm), it can be concluded that the star is moving away from the observer

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called ________.
tatyana61 [14]
<span>Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.
</span>

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.
