When a car is coasting downhill, how are its potential and kinetic energies changing?

1 answer:

3 0

When a car is coasting downhill, the kinetic and potential energies are increasing and decreasing respectively.

<h3>What are kinetic and potential energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass).

According to this question, a car going downhill will begin to speed because there is lesser friction. This suggests that the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.

Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

alexandr1967 [171]

The statement which is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge is A. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, $\lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, $v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s$

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

$v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}$

$\lambda_o$ is the observed wavelength

$\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

In deep space there is very little friction once they are launched into a probe into deep space where there are no external forc

BabaBlast [244]

Continue on the momentum it has. The probe will continue in the same direction it is moving because there are no forces to act against it. I think this is the answer you are looking for...?
