-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.
If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.
In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.
If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

Answer:
230.26 N
Explanation:
Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity
F=0.72*32.6*9.81=230.26 N
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by
ρ = resistivity of the material
L= length of the object
A= area of cross section
clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.
thermal resistance R_th is given by
L= length of the object
A= area of cross section
K = Conductivity of the material
thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.
Answer:
Explanation:
The inclined plane
An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.
The lever
A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.
The wedge
A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.
The wheel and axle
A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.
Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
