A sled slides down a hill with friction between the sled and hill but negligible alr resistance. Which of the following must be

correct about the resulting change in energy of the sled Earth system?
A) The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy changes by an amount equal to the energy dissipated by friction,
B)The gravitational potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy is constant.
C)The decrease in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy
D)The gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy must both decrease.

Answer:

A) The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy changes by an amount equal to the energy dissipated by friction,

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy is the energy that the object has and is defied by the work that is needed to accelerate the body.
  • The gravitational potential is a mechanism by which an equal amount of energy is being transferred per unit mass that is needed for the object to move from the specific location.
  • Hence when the sled moves down the hill with the force of gravity it has negligible resistance as an equal amount of energy is dissipated.

The purpose of striking the ball in a volleyball game is to: 1. Place the ball in motion 2. Change the direction of the ball's m
zhenek [66]

Answer:

4. All of the above

Explanation:

The purpose of striking the ball in a volleyball game:

From the serve you could state that you need to place the ball in motion.

When returning a shot of, you normally want to change the direction of the ball's motion.

During a dropshot, you purposely want to slow down the ball's motion.

The correct answer must be all of the above.

Runaway truck ramps are common on mountainous highways in case the brakes fail on large trucks. If a
dusya [7]

Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".

in the diagram the solid eventually becomes a gas what will happen to bring the substance from a solid to a gas
Ratling [72]
Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
