Why would the kinetic energy at the bottom of the track be less than the potential energy at the top of the track?

This is because of friction and heat lost.

Explanation:

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
