Which statement best describes the energy changes that occur while a child is riding on a sled down a steep, snow-covered hill? @4.3.8.A @2A)
Kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.


B)
Kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases.


C)
Both potential and kinetic energy decrease.


D)
Both potential and kinetic energy increase

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Answer is B)
When
a child is riding on a sled down a steep, snow-covered hill, his elevation decreases and hence Kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases.

Hope it helps!

How much amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 20 grams of water from 10°C to 30°C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C.

Answers

The amount of heat:
Q = m c ΔT
m = 20 g,  c = 4.18 J/g°C,  ΔT = 30° - 10° = 20° C
Q = 20 g · 4.18 J/g°C · 20°C = 1672 J
Answer: C ) 1700 J

Answer : The amount of heat is required is, 1672 J

Solution :

Formula used :

Q= m* c* \Delta T

Q= m* c* (T_(final)-T_(initial))

Q= heat gained

m= mass of the substance = 20 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g ° C

T_(final) = final temperature = 30^oC

T_(initial) = initial temperature = 10^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the heat required.

Q= (20g)* (4.18 J/g^oC)* (30-10)^oC

Q = 1672 Joules

Therefore, the amount of heat is required is, 1672 J

Which statement is true about how objects appear to bend that are partially submerged in water?They appear to bend at the surface due to reflection.
They appear to bend at the surface due to refraction.
They appear to bend at the surface due to diffraction.
They appear to bend at the surface due to interference

Answers

The correct answer to the question is: B) They appear to bend at the surface due to refraction.

EXPLANATION:

When light moves from optical rarer medium to optical denser medium, the light rays are bent towards the normal at the point of incidence on the refracting surface. If the order is changed, then the way will be away from the normal.

This property of light is known as refraction which is due to the fact that light has different velocities in different media.

As per the question, the object appears to be bent when it is submerged in water. Actually the object is not bent. Its the light from object which is bent at the  air-water interference.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is refraction.

Timers at a swim meet used four different clocks to time an event. Which recorded time is the least precise?a. 48.9107 s
b. 48.91 s
c. 48.910 s
d. 48.9 s

Answers

Answer:

Least precise recorded time is 48.9 seconds.

Explanation:

Here, we need to write the recorded time that is least precise. The given options are (a) 48.9107 s  (b) 48.91 s  (c) 48.910 s  (d) 48.9 s. The precision in any measurement is defined as closeness in any measurement.

First option is most precise as it is precised to four decimal places. Second option is precised to two decimal places. Third option is precised to 3 decimal places. But in option fourth, the recorded time is precised to one decimal place.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

the answer should be D due to the fact that A,B,andC  are showing the exact time in which it took for the event while D is vary general on the time the event stoped
