A block slides along a frictionless surface with 220 J of kinetic energy. It then goes up a frictionless ramp. When the kinetic

energy drops to 55 J, how much gravitational potential energy does the block have?

Hello!

For the explanation of this energy conservation exercise, where we'll use <u>energy conservation law</u>, let's see what this principle proposes.

How you should know, mechanical energy conserves in every point, that is to say mechanical energy is same in A point like B point. (Mechanical energy will be represented by "Me")

Once time we know that, let's take the 220 Joules momentum like A point, and when 55 Joules momentum like B point.

Then, let's use the <u>energy conservation principle:</u>

Me(A) = Me(B)

  • We know Mechanical energy in A point, so just lets replace according to our data:

220 J = Me(B)

  • In B point, we know kinetic energy, but <u>we dont know gravitational potential energy</u>, so lets descompose Mechanical energy, into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

220 J = Ke + Gpe

  • We know kinetic energy value, so lets replace it:

220 J = 55 J + Gpe

  • Finally, just clean Gpe and resolve it:

Gpe = 220 J - 55 J = 165 J

Gravitational potential energy is of One hundred sixty five Joules <u>(165 J).</u>

Which of these would not contribute to a global increase in temperature?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

planting trees - increasing the amount of animal life on earth

Explanation:

from all the other options given, all except planting trees will increase global temperature.

1. deforestation: this removes vegetative cover and the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

2. increasing the use of gasoline burning vehicles: burning gasoline produces carbon dioxide which is a green house gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming

3. increasing the industrial release of carbon dioxide: carbon dioxide is released when gasoline is burned in industries, this in-turn causes global warming.

Trees produces oxygen and sucks in carbon dioxide which causes global warming. more trees mean more oxygen and less carbon dioxide which translates to less global increase in temperature

Why do elements in the same group or column of the periodic table have similar properties? A. They have the same number of proto
Oxana [17]
The Answer is C. The outer shell electrons are the electrons which are involved with chemical reactions and bonding. All elements in the same group have different number of total electrons but ALL have the same number of outer shell electrons. This is why they exhibit similar chemical properties.
