OpenStudy (anonymous):

There it is !

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

I know the answer... What are your thoughts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think A

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

why do you think A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or D

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Why do you think D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D because the water is flowing into a dam which with stop the water . A because once the avalanche slides down the mountain side it stops

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

? I don't understand your logic for A or D

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

When you lift a ball into the air it has potential energy. When you drop the ball you obtain kinetic energy. Right? So which of the answers relates best to what I just stated?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Lets look at a simple pendulum swinging from left to right and right to left. Once the pendulum reaches its maxim height it has potential energy, when falling/swinging to the left or right it has kinetic energy.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

An avalanche sliding down a mountain side has kinetic energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B ?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

k=1/2mv^2

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

depends on the velocity.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Why B?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

u=mgh depends on height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When the motorboat pulls the skier it uses kinetic energy . When it stops its potential energy

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

an avalanche sliding down the hill has a velocity so therefore it must not be kinetic energy. A sail boat being pushed across the water by the air has a speed/velocity, etc. So look at the equation potential=mgh

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

potential energy depends on mass gravity and height

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

if we pull the skier across the water we are exerting a force on her/him.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is the wind pushing a sailboat?
