This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

The data shown by the bar graph is "valid".

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system must remain constant at any given point. Hence, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the roller coaster must be constant at any given time.

Considering the bottom of the first hill:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J + 0 J (since at the bottom potential energy is zero due to zero height)

Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J

Now, considering the top of the second hill:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

From the data given in the bar graph:

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 1,000,000 J + 1,500,000 J

Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 2,500,000 J

Hence,

Total Energy at 1st Hill = Total Energy at 2nd Hill

Therefore, the given bar graph is "valid".

What is the least amount of time required for a given point on this wave to move from y = 0 to y = 12cm?
ale4655 [162]

Time t = ?

<span>When wave is moving from y = 0  to y =12 cm</span>

By using the formula,

y = 15cos [(π/12) t)] = 0,

cos [(π/12) t)] = 0 = cos (π/2), so, 

(π/12)t = π/2,

t = (π/2) (12/π) 

t = 12/2

<span>t = 6 sec</span>

<span>so 6 sec is the least amount of time required</span>

Why do surface winds tend to cross the isobars?
scZoUnD [109]
Geostrophic winds blows parallel to the isobars. That is because the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force ( PGF ) are in balance. But near the surface the friction can act to change the direction of the wind and to slow it down. Coriolis force decreases at the surface and PGF stays the same. The difference in terrain conditions affects how much friction is exerted. Hills and forests force the wind to change direction more than flat areas. Answer: Friction reduces the speed so Coriolis is weakened.

What is the equation for net force
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is to add all forces, for example either the gf = gravitational force

Ff= force fiction

Fn= normal force

Thus, fg + ff + fn = y will give you results

Well then the forces you use in your exercises or questions.
