At the top of the ramp the toy has a certain amount of potential energy. The amount of this energy depends on the height of the ramp and the weight of the toy. (The toy's weight is dependent on its mass and the force of gravity.) As the toy rolls down the ramp this potential … Read more
It means there is a force drawing two magnets or a magnet and some magnetic material together. The opposite of attract is repel. Two magnets will attract each other if you put the opposite poles near each other, or repel each other if you put like poles together.

Percentage error is the error result minus the correct result, divided by the correct result and multiplied by 100. Let the original number be x.
Error = 100((3x/2)-(3x/2))/(3x/2)
= 100(0)/(3x/2)
= 0/(3x/2)
= 0%
The error percentage is zero because dividing by 2/3 is the same as multiplying by 3/2. The student … Read more
That title has been applied to at least three people, and probably others. Read up on the following and take your pick.

They were laughing, or they used to laugh. (It's 3rd person plural indicative active imperfect.)
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is not gained or lost but simply converted from one form to another. When a car is at the top of the roller coaster it is moving slowly but has a high level of potential energy. As it accelerates under the force of gravity the potential … Read more
