Answer:

Point A (Maximum height)

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity hence expressed as mgh where m is the mass of roller coaster, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass and g are constant for a roller coaster, the main factor that will influence the magnitude of energy is the height. The higher the height, the higher the potential energy and vice versa. Using the attached image, the highest point is point A

Answer:a

Explanation: Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy which is saying

the amount of water returning to the earth through precipitation is blank the amount of water leaving the earth through evaporat

nalin [4]

Answer:

The amount of water entering the earth through precipitation is equal to the amount of water leaving earth through transpiration.

Explanation:

Rates of precipitation and evaporation vary widely according to regions and seasons. But in a global scale the rates are equal. Thus the total amount of earth’s water maintains its constancy even though there is a continuous change in forms of water.

Evaporation and transpiration are the forms in which Water leaves the earth and it returns to the earth in various forms of precipitation like rain, snow, dew, fog etc. This water then reaches ocean and land. The water that reaches the land flows as surface run off into rivers and water bodies or seep into the ground replenishing the ground water table.

What are two things that are infinite?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Infinity = Never ending

Explanation:

The universe could be infinite, both in terms of space and time, but there is currently no way to test whether it goes on forever or is just very big. The part of the universe we are able to observe is finite, measuring about 46 billion light years in diameter.

The set of natural numbers is an infinite set. This kind of infinity is, by definition, called countable infinity. All sets that can be put into a bijective relation to the natural numbers are said to have this kind of infinity. This is also expressed by saying that the cardinal number of the set is aleph-naught (ℵ0).

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest!

The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank ins

liraira [26]

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these = 300 000 N /m^2

but only an area of .2 m^2

300 000 N / m^2 * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: $53.31\°$ East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: $6.68 m/s$

Speed of the bee relative to the air: $8.33 m/s$

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the Speed of the wind from East to West (in the horintal part) and the speed due North relative to the ground (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

$sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}$

$sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}$

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})$

$\theta=53.31\°$
