A series circuit has only one path for current,
while a parallel circuit has more than one.
The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.
As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
Rocks within Earth both expand and contract as P waves pass
Explanation:
Rocks within the earth both expands and contracts as P-waves passes through them. P-waves are elastic waves.
- Elastic waves behaves in such a way that they do not cause permanent deformation of rocks.
- They can be said to cause elastic deformation when they travel through rocks.
- They simply temporarily expand and contract the rock within a short period by causing the vibration of particles of the medium.
- After a short while, the rock returns back to its original position as if nothing has happened to it.
- These elastic waves are better called seismic waves.
- P-waves are primary waves that can travel through any medium.

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.
Answer:
Explanation:
For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.
so:
where 
is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, 
is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, 
is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and 
is the final angular velocity.
First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:
I = 
I = 
I = 359.375 kg*m^2
Where 
is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round
Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:
W = 0.520*2
rad/s
W = 3.2672 rad/s
Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:
Finally we replace all the data:
Solving for :
