Question

Toy car

ramp
statement best describes what would happen if the student increased the angle of the ramp?
A The toy car would not travel as far because more kinetic energy would be transferred into potential energy
The toy car would travel farther because more kinetic energy would be transferred into potential energy
toy car would not travel as far because more potential energy would be transferred into kinetic energy
D
The toy car would travel farther because more potential energy would be transferred into kinetic energy.

Answer 1

D

The toy car would travel farther because more potential energy would be transferred into kinetic energy

Explanation:

Increase in angle will lead to increase in height.

Since potential energy = mgh

Definitely potential energy will also increase.

According to conservative of energy, the maximum potential energy is equal to the maximum kinetic energy. Therefore, the toy car would travel farther because more potential energy would be transferred into kinetic energy.
