1. As the skiers move down the mountain their potential energy is converted into what?

2. As the skiers travel down the slope, a portion of their total energy is lost. This means that when they perform their tricks, they will never go as high as they were when they first pushed off from the gate. Describe how this energy is lost?

3. In the ski jump, all skiers launch from the same location. What would cause them to have

different amounts of potential energy?

1. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy since they are in motion.

2. As they slope down, work is done against the dissipative forces e.g; Air resistance, viscosity ( friction ). Hence energy is lost.

3. Different weights and heights at which they started sloping.

where mg is the weight.

h is the height moved

therefore, weight and height determines the potential energy.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.
