baherus [9]3 years ago

Answer:

The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.

gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = distance ( vertical height )

A snowboarder goes down the hill with a slope of 28° if friction acts on him as he slides down which of the following is the cor
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

All of the frictions are the same, but weight always goes straight down so it can only be A or B. Since they are going down a slope, then the normal force must be sloped. A is the only one out of A and B with a sloped normal force, so it has to be A

How much force is needed to keep the bowling ball moving towards the pins once it has
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amount of force needed needs to be greater than all the forces acting in the opposite direction that the bowling ball was thrown. This includes air resistance, floor friction, gravity, and any other force involved. As long as the force acting on the bowling ball that is causing it to go in the direction of the pins is slightly greater than the opposite acting forces then it will continue in that direction. Since no values are provided we cannot calculate the actual precise value of force needed.

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new
sergiy2304 [10]
There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
F=qvBsin\theta
where \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
v=2v_0
