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.

Describe the double circulation system of the human body
Alika [10]

Answer:

we have two loops in our body in which blood circulates. One is oxygenated, meaning oxygen rich, and the other is deoxygenated, which means it has little to no oxygen, but a lot of carbon dioxide.

How many grams of CO₂ can be produced from the combustion of 2.76 moles of butane according to this equation: 2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂
Vilka [71]

Answer:

485.76 g of CO₂ can be made by this combustion

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

If we only have the amount of butane, we assume the oxygen is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:8. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore, 2.76 moles of butane must produce (2.76 . 8)/ 2 = 11.04 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 11.04 mol . 44g / 1 mol = 485.76 g
