Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

Answer:

Newton's law has every thing to do with roller coasters.

in the case that you have given, the first law states that any object when given an force will keep moving until there is no opposing force acting upon the moving object. when the roller coaster is moving the opposing force here can be the frictional force that is acting upon the coaster that is the breaking system as the train comes to the station to stop a the end.

to summarize

Newton's first law: any object will keep moving until there is an opposing force acting upon it

the opposing force in the coaster is the breaking system..

How is velocity ratio of wheel and axle calculatedaad<br>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Explanation:

A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.

The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.

Using Ohm’s Law, explain how resistance changes in relation to current, assuming that voltage remains constant.

Cerrena [4.2K]

V=IR so voltage is directly proportional to current. So for a given resistance increasing the voltage will result in a high current as well. This is because resistance is proportional to the voltage over the current. Ex: I=V/R
Hope this helped. THANKYOU for asking. <span />

A cinder cone is formed from relatively ________ viscosity magma with a ________ gas content. low; high high; high low; low high

kenny6666 [7]

<span>A cinder cone is formed from relatively low viscosity magma with a high gas content. Cinder cones are formed by the volcanic ash, cinders that are formed around the volcanic vent. Cinder cones have a bowl shaped crater and the shape of the cinder cones depend on the ejected particles that formed the cinder.</span>
