Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy involves motion so something that is not moving has zero kinetic energy.

Potential energy does not involve motion and is based on position in a field like gravity and magnetic.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Earlier emf of cell applied on R₁ but now emf will be distributed among R₁ and R₂

Potential difference on R₁ will become less .

b ) Current is inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. As resistance increases , current will be less . So current through R₁ will become less.

c )

When resistance is added in series , they are added up to obtain equivalent resistance . So equivalent resistance R₁₂ will be more than R₁ OR R₂.

Answer:

Explanation:

If no one can see it because the lights were out. Did the flea really jump?

What do you want here?

Max height (2.2sin21)²/ 2(9.8) = 3.2 cm

Time of flight 2(2.2sin21)/ (9.8) = 0.16 s

distance of flight (2.2cos21)(0.16) = 33 cm

A new ride being built at an amusement park includes a vertical drop of 126.5 meters. Starting from rest, the ride vertically dr

yan [13]

Answer:

49.79 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the roller coaster is, $u=0\ m/s$

Vertical drop or the displacement of the roller coaster is, $y=-126.5\ m$

The displacement is negative as the motion is in downward direction.

Now, as the motion is in vertical direction only, the acceleration of the roller coaster will be due to gravity acting in the downward direction.

So, the acceleration of the roller coaster is, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, using the following equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2ay$

Where, 'v' is the velocity of the roller coaster at the bottom.

Plug in all the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v^2=0^2+2(-9.8)(-126.5)\\\\v^2=2479.4\\\\v=\sqrt{2479.4}\\\\v=49.79\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is 49.79 m/s.
