Which statement is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp?

Physics

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp. The correct answer is option C

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body when the body is at rest. Potential energy is at time called gravitational potential energy which as a product of mass of the body, acceleration due to gravity and the height attained by the body. That is,

P.E = mgh

When a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car can never remain the same except the car stop at a certain point.

Whenever a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car will be highest when the car is release at the top of the ramp. And lowest when the car reaches the bottom of the ramp.

The statement that is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp is:

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils;  inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

It's held together by the nuclear force.

Explanation:

There are <em>more</em> elemental forces than just the electromagnetic one. In this case, it is the nuclear force (called also strong force) the one that holds the nucleus together because it is stronger than the electromagnetic force over such short distances as the one inside the atomic nucleus.

The x-component of vector R is Rx = −28.2 units and its y-component is Ry = 19.6 units. What are its magnitude and direction? Gi
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rx = -28.2 units

Ry = 19.6 units

magnitude of R = √  [( - 28.2 )² + ( 19.6 ) ]

= √ ( 795.24 + 384.16 )

= 34.34 units

If θ  be the angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-direction

Tanθ = 19.6 / - 28.2 = -0.695

θ = 180 - 34.8

= 145.2° .

Exactly one pound of bread dough is placed in a baking tin. the dough is cooked in an oven at 350 °f releasing a wonderful aroma
Sladkaya [172]
The mass of the baked loaf will be less than the original dough. In making dough for bread, we have ingredients that are liquid such as water, melted butter, food flavoring, etc. All of this liquid ingredients mixed on the dough will definitely turn into vapor. This vapor is responsible for releasing of the aroma of the freshly baked bread.

a person complete a 100m race in 11s. He accelerates for the first two second and then maintains the velocity till the end. what
hjlf

The maximum velocity reached by the person is determined as 11.1 m/s.

<h3>Area under velocity - time graph</h3>

The area under the velocity time graph is the total displacement of the person.

Total Area = area of triangle formed during first 2 seconds + area of rectangle during the last 8 seconds

100 = ¹/₂(2v) + v(11 - 2)

where;

  • v is the maximum velocity

100 = v + 8v

100 = 9v

v = 100/9

v = 11. 1 m/s

Thus, the maximum velocity reached by the person is determined as 11.1 m/s.
