Answer:

d) The box’s initial potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and

thermal energy.

Explanation:

Let us analyze the situation first. Initially we have a box at rest placed at some height on a ramp. So, the three energies associated with the box will be:

Kinetic Energy = 0 (due to zero velocity)

Thermal Energy = 0 (due to not temperature change)

Potential Energy = Greater than zero value (due to height)

Now, when the box is released to slide down the ramp with friction, the energies become:

Kinetic Energy = Increasing (due to increase in velocity)

Thermal Energy = Increasing (due to increase in temperature, because of friction)

Potential Energy = Decreasing (due to decrease in height)

So, from Law of Conservation of Energy, we can write:

Loss of Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy + Gain in Thermal Energy

So, the correct option is:

d) <u>The box’s initial potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and  thermal energy.</u>

Julli [10]

Answer:

Option C) 2,090 J/(mol K)

Explanation:

Data:

Volume in the beaker = 429 ml

temperature  = 20° C

Density = 789 kg/m³

Equilibrium reading = 429

volume change = 29 ml

                          = 0.029 L

Energy change = mcΔT

The total resistance of a 15-ohm, an 65-ohm and a 35-ohm resistor connected in parallel ​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

I think its 9.0397 Ohms

Explanation:

take the reciprocal of all the resistances: 1/15, 1/65, 1/35

then add them: = 151/1365

then reciprocal the answer: =1365/151

And chuck it on a calculator: =9.04 Ohms

I think this is right but I'm not entirely sure. Tell me if I'm right by the way!
