Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?

Semmy [17]

Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
Ea = m * g * h
In other words, energy is only potential.
At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
For energy conservation we have:
Ea = Eb
That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
answer:
the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$
