We can confirm that in a roller coaster, kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at each successive hill because of the force of gravity which converts potential energy into kinetic energy.
<h3>What are potential and kinetic energy?</h3>
- Potential energy is referred to as <em><u>positional energy</u></em>.
- This means that the object in question gains energy based on its position relative to others.
- Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
- Gravity causes the roller coaster to fall, losing potential energy.
- This causes it to gain all of the potential energy as kinetic energy.
- Once at the bottom, the coaster no longer moves and thus loses the kinetic energy as well.
Therefore, we can confirm that gravity is the force that causes the shift from potential energy to kinetic energy and thus causes them both to decrease after each successful hill in the roller coaster.

I think it could be letter B
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?
a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.
b. All cobalt atoms are identical.
c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.
d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
- All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
- Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
- The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
For the given options:
<u>For a:</u>
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.
Hence, the correct options are b) and c).
Answer:
here: "salt and sugar"
Explanation:
I dunno, looks pretty, gives 5 points. even tough any context is missing
but seriously:
salt and sugar look the same. just someone with a split personality
Volume of Argon V1 = 5.0 L
Pressure of Argon P1 = 2 atm
Final temperature T2 = 30 C = 30 + 273 = 303 K
Volume at final temperature V2= 6 L
Pressure at final temperature P2 = 8 atm
We know that (P1 x V1) / T1 = (P2 x V2) / T2
(2 x 5)/ T1 = (8 x 6)/ 303 => T1 = (10 x 303) / 48
Initial Temperature T1 = 3030 / 48 = 63.12
Initial Temperature = -209. 8 C
