When particles in a substance slow down, we can infer that the object is getting colder. Why we can infer this:
1. Kinetic energy, is energy due to motion, therefore if there is no motion, there is no kinetic energy.
2. The colder an object get, the closer it becomes to having it's particles stopping completely, eventually at the absolute zero.
3. As kinetic energy increases, particles move faster. Kinetic energy usually increases when an object gets warmer. As kinetic energy decreases, particles move slower. Kinetic energy usually decreases when an object gets colder.
So, with this information, we now how and why the kinetic energy slows down.
Answer:
Mater's Mass is the Answer
Answer:
At point A, the cart has high potential energy. At point b, the cart is pulled down by gravity. At point c, the cart gains its highest kinetic energy. At point d, the cart returns back to the same state but with lower potential energy.
