Objects x and y are connected by a string of negligible mass and suspended vertically over a pulley of negligible mass, creating an atwood’s machine, as shown in the figure. The objects are initially at rest, and the mass of object y is greater than the mass of object x. As object y falls, how does the gravitational potential energy of the object x-object y-earth system change? all frictional forces are considered to be negligible.

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.

In positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and a non-zero number are blank significant

Lacie kicks a football from ground level at a velocity of 13.9 m/s and at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. how long will the ball be in the air before it lands? how far will the football travel before it lands?
