What happens to your kinectic energy when your gravitational potential energy decreases?

Physics

Answer:

As r decreases, we lose gravitational potential energy - in other words, U G U_G UG​U, start subscript, G, end subscript becomes more negative. Because energy is conserved, the velocity must increase, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.

Answer:

1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ

2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².

3-

Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE

top (30m) 60000 0 60000

bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000

halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000

three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000

A car begins at rest (0 velocity), 5 seconds later it is travelling at 20 meters/per second. What was the acceleration of the ve
klasskru [66]

use the formula

v= u+ at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

put the values

20 = 0+ a×5

a = 4 m/s²

If an object travels 15 metres in 5 seconds, what is the slope of its distance-time graph?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

The slope is distance divided by time, also known as 'speed'.

15 meters / 5 seconds = 3 meters per second.

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford's model of the atom?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in the year 1911 developed a model of an atom. In his model the atom was shown that the atom is mostly empty spaces composed of negative electrons which orbits round a positive nucleus just like planets revolving round the sun.

Rutherford came up with this model by performing experiments in 1909 which involves the scattering of alpha particles on a thin gold foil. From this experiments he came up with his model.

The height of the empire state building is 318 m if a stone is dropped from the top of the building what is the stones velocity
lutik1710 [3]

79 m/s. A stone dropped from the top of the Empire State Building will have a velocity of 79 m/s just before it strikes the ground.

This problem is about free fall, to find the velocity of the stone before it strikes the ground we have to use the equation v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2gh, the initial velocity  of the stone is 0 m/s. Then:

v_{f}^{2}=2gh

v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2gh}

Solving the equation above with g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 318.0 m:

v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2(9.8m/s^{2})(318.0m)}= 78.95 m/s

v_{f}≅ 79 m/s
