what are the energy changes when a car rolls from the top of a hill to the bottom? Name two forces that would slow the acceleration of the car?

At first as the car is on the top of the hill, it has GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY

As the car rolls down the hill, GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY changes to KINETIC ENERGY.

Trolley A weighs 5kg and is moving at 15m/s to the right. It collides with a stationary Trolley B, weighing 10kg more than Trolley A. After the collision they move off together. Calulate the velocity that they move off with.


Give an example of ionising radiation


A car accelerates (at a constant acceleration) from a velocity of 25m/s to 34m/s in 6s. Calculate the cars acceleration.


Draw a distance-time, speed-time, and acceleration-time graph for an object moving at a constant velocity of 5m/s for 10 seconds.
