Abox is released from rest and slides down a ramp in a closed system. even though the box speeds up, its kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp is less than the potential energy that it had at the top of the ramp.
what best explains why the box’s final kinetic energy is less than its initial potential energy?

in a closed system, kinetic energy is always less than potential energy.
some potential energy was converted into thermal energy due to friction.
the acceleration due to gravity became smaller as the box slid down the ramp.
in a closed system, total energy is constantly being lost to outside objects.

City a and city b had two different temperatures on a particular day. on that day, four times the temperature of city a was 8â° c more than 3 times the temperature of city b. the temperature of city a minus twice the temperature of city b was â’3â° c. what was the temperature of city a and city b on that day? city a was 5â° c, and city b was 4â° c. city a was 3â° c, and city b was â’1â° c. city a was 8â° c, and city b was â’3â° c. city a was 5â° c, and city b was â’5â° c.

98 points you will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. a hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. the hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. record your hypothesis here: record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air): first trial: second trial: third trial: record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum): first trial: second trial: third trial: did the experiment support your hypothesis? using the data from your experiment, describe why you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven. what forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air? what force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum? part two: comparing forces choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. you must provide two ways that they are alike and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write in paragraph form, or make a chart. choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. these must be different forces than used in the prior question. provide two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write it out, or make a chart.

Phosphorous can form an ion called phosphide, which has the formula p3−. this ion can form an ion called phosphide, which has the formula p3−. this ion properties very similar to those of pforms when a phosphorus atom loses three protonsis called a cationcontains 18 electrons
