HCl is a strong electrolyte and when it dissolves in water it separates almost completely into positively - charged hydrogen ions and negatively - charged chloride ions. This aqueous solution is usually called hydrochloric acid.
Kinetic energy increases, potencial energy decreases,
kinetic energy + potential energy = energy, energy can not be destroyed, just transformed
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.
I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith.
Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.
When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is S cos(60) = 0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is S sin(60) = S√3/2 = 0.866 S . (rounded)
-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.
-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change.
-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally.
That's E/4 .
Explanation:
An perfect mass less spring, attached at one end and with a free mass attached at the other end, will have a distinct frequency of oscillation depending on its constant spring and mass. On the other hand, a spring with mass along its length will not have a characteristic frequency of oscillation.
Alternatively, based on its spring constant and mass per length, it will now have a wave Speed. It would be possible to use all wavelengths and frequencies, as long as the component fλ= S, where S is the spring wave size. If that sounds like longitudinal waves, like solid sound waves.
