Apply the law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformations that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bi

cycle and then apply the brakes to make the bike stop at the bottom.
A roller coaster is at the top of a hill and rolls to the top of a lower hill. If mechanical energy is constant, then on the top of which hill is the kinetic energy from the roller coaster`s motion greater?

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.

A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!

Answer: Volume = 1080m^3

Explanation:

Given that the prism has a 15 m by 18 m rectangular base and a height of 4 m

Volume is the product of length, breath and height. That is

Volume = L × B × H

Where

L = 18 m

B = 15m

H = 4m

Using the formula above gives:

Volume V = 18 × 15 × 4

V = 1080 m^3

A person is walking down the street maintain the same speed and direction. The person is accelerating.
balandron [24]

Answer:

no change in speed, therefore the body cannot be accelerated.  a=0

Explanation:

When a person is accelerating his speed must change, if the speed is in the same direction as the acceleration the speed increases and if the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the speed it decreases.

In this case there is no change in speed, therefore the body cannot be accelerated.

The wavelength of a water wave is 6 cm when the frequency is 10 hertz .
dedylja [7]

  1. The distance between successive crests (or successive troughs) is defined as the wavelength. The time elapsed between the crossings of two successive crests through a given point is the period of the wave.
  2. The Velocity of propagation (Vp) of a cable is the speed at which an electrical signal can propagate through the cable in comparison to the speed of light. For example, in a vacuum, the velocity of propagation would be 100% or 1 (depending on how it is represented).
  3. The wave period is the time it takes to complete one cycle. The standard unit of a wave period is in seconds, and it is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave, which is the number of cycles of waves that occur in one second.

Straw polls are___. A. scientifically based B. representative samples C. biased sampling D. cluster samples
soldi70 [24.7K]
Straw polls are considered to be a form of biased sampling. An example of a straw poll is an unofficial vote like who you would like to be the President without actually casting your ballot.
