A cart with an unknown mass is at rest on one side of a track. A student must find the mass of the cart by using Newton’s second

law. The student attaches a force probe to the cart and pulls it while keeping the force constant. A motion detector rests on the opposite end of the track to record the acceleration of the cart as it is pulled. The student uses the measured force and acceleration values and determines that the cart’s mass is 0.4kg . When placed on a balance, the cart’s mass is found to be 0.5kg . Which of the following could explain the difference in mass?
Answer choices:

A) The track was not level and was tilted slightly downward.

B) The student did not pull the cart with a force parallel to the track.

C) The wheels contain bearings that were rough and caused a significant amount of friction.

D) The motion sensor setting was incorrect. The student set it up so that motion away from the sensor would be the negative direction.

What is the potential energy of a 3 kg rock sitting at the top of a 21 meter high cliff?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

618.03 J

Explanation:

Potential energy can be calculate using the following formula.

PE=m*g*h

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

In this situation, we have a 3 kilogram rock on a 21 meter high cliff. Therefore, the mass is 3 kg and the height is 21 m.

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.

m=3 kg

h=21 m

g=9.81 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

PE=3*9.81*21

Multiply all the numbers together

PE=63*9.81

PE=618.03

The potential energy is 618.03 kg m^2/s^2, or 618.03 Joules

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.
