Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

Nastasia [14]

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

$d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

$100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}$

Now we just need to solve for t:

${t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}$

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!

Which states of matter have particles that move independently of one another with very little attraction

Crazy boy [7]

The state of matter that the particles move independently of one another with very little attraction is, I believe, gas
