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>

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?
Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

Choice D
