At which location does a skateboarder have the most kinetic energy at least potential energy?

Physics

SashulF [63]3 years ago

Answer:The skater has the lowest amount of kinetic energy at the top of the track and lowest potential energy at the lowest point of the track. Kinetic energy is the speed a object is going, and potential energy is the energy a object has when its not moving. While the skater moves up the ramp the potential energy increases, and the kinetic energy decreases because it slows down while moving up the ramp. Hope this helps have a nice day ❤️

Explanation:

First recognize that the total energy of the skater is conserved: this means that the total energy of the skater is constant. The total energy (E) consists of the kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (Ug).

E=KE+Ug

Now we know that the gravitational potential energy depends on the distance from the zero of potential (or in simpler terms: how high the skater is from the ground). Now, we are ready to answer the question.

The skater possesses the most KE at point B: remember total energy is a constant and at point B the skater has the least amount of potential energy (since they are at their lowest point above the ground). This means that the skater must have more kinetic energy at point B.

Similarly, at points A and C, the skater possesses the most potential energy since they are at their highest point above the ground.

How do carbon 12 and carbon 13 differ?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) & B)

Explanation:

First, the numbers 12 and 13 represent the <em>atomic mass number</em> of the atoms.

  • So, A) is true: thus Carbon12 and Carbon 13 have different mass numbers.

The <em>mass number</em> is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons. Consider that any element has the same number of protons, regardless of the number of neutrons. The number of protons in Carbon is 6.

The amount of neutrons can be calculated by: <em>mass number </em>minus <em>number of protons.</em>

For Carbon 12: 12-6=6

For Carbon 13: 13-6=7

  • B) is true, we just proved they have different amounts of neutrons.

In order for the charge of the atom to be neutral, the amount of electrons must be equal to the number of protons (as they have opposite charges). And we now know that the number of protons in Carbon12 and Carbon13 are always the same

  • C) is false, the number of electrons is the same in both atoms

The atomic charges in both are neutral, due to the fact that they have the same amount of protons and electrons in both cases. Is only the neutrons (thus the mass numbers)that change

  • D) is false, they have equal atomic charges

Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current drawn by electric heater = power/volt =1500/120 = 12.5 A.

current drawn by hair drier at 600 watt = 600/120 =5 A

current drawn by hair drier at 900 watt = 900/120 = 7.5 A.

Total current drawn by heater and hair drier used at 900 watt

= 12.5 + 7.5 = 20 A

Breaking current =20 A

So fuse will trip at this point .
