Question 14 of 20 A crate falling from a plane is part of a closed system that has 24,450 J of
mechanical energy. If the kinetic energy of the crate increases from 10,000 J
to 15,000 J, what happens to the gravitational potential energy of the system?
A. It decreases from 15,000 J to
10,000 J.
B. It increases from 10,000 J to
15,000 J.
C. It decreases from 14,450 J to
9,450 J.
D. It increases from 9,450 J to
14,450 J.

When does a spring tide occur? question 9 options: they occur when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned. in spite of their name, these tides occur twice a year in the spring and fall. they occur on the date of the vernal equinox each year, no matter what stage the moon is in. this is why they are called spring tides. they occur when the sun, moon, and earth are at 45-degree angles from each other. this happens once every spring. they occur when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned. in spite of their name, these tides occur all year long.
