Answer:

Its gravitational potential energy must increase.

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Mechanical Energy</u>

The total amount of mechanical energy, in a closed system in the absence of dissipative forces like friction or air resistance, remains constant.

This means that energy cannot disappear or appear and that potential energy can become kinetic energy or vice versa.

In a closed system like a pendulum, two types of energies are considered: Gravitational potential (U) and kinetic (K). Thus, the sum of both energies must remain constant in time.

Suppose the pendulum is at a state where U=150 J, and K=350 J. The total mechanical energy is:

M = 150 J + 350 J = 500 J

If the kinetic energy decreases to a new value, say K = 200 J, then the gravitational potential must increase to compensate for this new condition, that is: U = 300 J

So, It's gravitational potencial energy must increase

When two oceanic plates converge, the plate with a greater density will subduct. This plate will partially melt, causing the for
N76 [4]

Answer:

Island arc

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates share a convergent type of plate boundary, the denser oceanic plate will subduct below the less dense oceanic plate. This will result in the formation of the subduction zone, where the rocks are being pulled down to the mantle. This subduction zone is typically marked by the presence of a narrow depression commonly known as an oceanic trench, that lies just above the zone.

The rocks of the subducting plate undergo partial melting and mix up with the magma that rises upwards towards the surface due to the force exerted by the convection currents. This later gives rise to the formation of volcanoes or a chain of volcanoes which are commonly known as an island arc.

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

123.30 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed, u = 22 m/s

acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²

time, t = 7.30 s

From equation of motion,

                       v = u + at

where,

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time  

                       V = at + U

using equation  v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane

                       V_{x} = mt + V_{o}      where m is the slope

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

V = V_{x}

a = m    

U = V_{o}

Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.

          a = -  1.40 m/s²

Sunstituting a = -  1.40 m/s² and  u = 22 m/s

                        V_{x} = -1.40t + 22

                            V_{x} = -1.40(7.30) + 22

                             V_{x} = -10.22 + 22

                             V_{x} = 11. 78 m/s

The speed of the train at 7.30 s is 11.78 m/s.

The distance traveled after 7.30 sec on the incline is the area cover on the incline under the specific interval.

           Area of triangle +  Area of rectangle

          [\frac{1}{2} * (22 - 11.78) * (7.30)]  + [(11.78 - 0) * (7.30)]

                           = 37.303 + 85.994

                           = 123. 297 m

                           ≈ 123. 30 m
