Checking Up 1. When a spring scale is used to do work pulling a cart to the top of an incline, where has the energy gone when the cart is at rest at the top? 2. Where does the roller coaster get its gravitational potential energy when it is at the top of the first hill? 3. Why do truckers use a ramp when loading a truck if the work required is the same with or without a ramp?

The eel has a certain amount of rotational kinetic energy when spinning at 14 spins per second. if it swam in a straight line instead, about how fast would the eel have to swim to have the same amount of kinetic energy as when it is spinning?

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

Which statement is best supported by the information in the chart? wave y is moving the fastest. wave x is moving the fastest. all of the waves are moving at the same speed. all of the waves have the same value of wavelengths per second.
