(A) gas to liquid
is most likely to take place. This change from gas to liquid is the forming of water molecules. Gas particles have the most energy and therefore speed up the most, whereas solids have the least amount of energy and slow down. The intermediate step from gas to solid is a liquid. We call this process from gas to liquid condensation.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
As you move down anything, towards the earth, (gravitational) potential energy decreases. This eliminates options B and C.
By the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the system stays the same. However the energy may be converted into different forms. In this case, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy - this is what makes people move faster as they go down the slope. This makes option A wrong and option D right.
Answer:
The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
Mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg
speed of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s
Mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the speed of skater 2
To solve this problem, we will use 'Conservation of momenton'. This means the momentum before the push equals the momentum after.
momentum p = m*v
Momentum p(before) = momentum p(after)
m1*v1 = m2 * v2
⇒ with m1 = mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg
⇒ with v1 = the velocity of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s
⇒ with m2 = the mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg
⇒ with v2 = the velocity of skater 2 = TO BE DETERMINED
45.0 * 0.375 = 60.0 * v2
v2 = (45.0*0.375)/60
v2 = 0.281 m/s
The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s
