Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: 4375 cap j; D: 1575 cap j

Question 8

A bird flies off of a cliff, dropping a feather and knocking rocks off the cliff. The rocks reach the ground much faster than the feather. Which energy transformations occur in this case? Choose three correct answers.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: Some of the rocks’ potential energy is converted into thermal energy due to the friction of air resistance. - not selected, this is the correct answer; D: Some of the potential energy of the feather is converted into kinetic energy. - correct; E: Some of the feather’s potential energy is converted into thermal energy due to the friction of air resistance. - correct

Question 9

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is moving when determining the work done on the object?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A: When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.
