KE depends on velocity. It is easier to answer this question in terms of the earth.

The closer the object (earth/comet) is to the sun, the faster it moves. that means that the fastest moving point would be as the comet/earth passes through point C.

The slowest speed would be the furthest away from the sun which is point A.

Answer: The faster the planet moves the greater the Kinetic Energy.

The Slower the planet moves, the less the KE.

Point A is where it is slowest with the lowest amount of energy.

Discussion

The formula for KE is KE = 1/2mv^2. The mass of the comet or earth is a constant. It doesn't change no matter which point the comet passes through. If v goes down KE will go down. If v goes up, KE goes up.

You posted the same picture yesterday, and learned that ‘C’ is the point of the MOST kinetic energy because it’s closest to the sun and moving fastest. Then I suggested that you review Kepler’s 2nd law.

From that answer OR from Kepler, it should be clear that the LEAST kinetic energy is at ‘A’ .

The student moves his leg 34 cm sideways as shown.
Nana76 [90]

(i) • there is force applied to an objects

• the object moves

• the object moves in the same direction as the direction of the force

(ii) workdone = force x distance

= 23 x 34

= 782Joules

Why is there a difference between potential and kinetic energy?
inn [45]

Potential energy is stored energy because it has the potential to do something which laters turns into kinetic energy which is the moving energy.

A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

  • mass of the object = m\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon A = M_A\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon B = M_B\,kilogram
  • distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = r\,meters

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

  • ∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = 2r\,meters

<u>As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:</u>

F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

<em>According to the condition</em>

Force on m due toM_B=Force on m due toM_A

G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}

\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}

M_A=4M_B

an elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. the tension in the cable must be:
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = M a is the vector equation involved

F = T - M g      are the forces acting on the elevator   (scalar equation)

T - M g = M a

T = M (a + g)    remember this a scalar

If a is slowing down then it must have a positive acceleration upwards

Therefor the tension in the cable must be greater than zero

When the tension increases to M g, a has increased to zero

For a to be zero, no acceleration, T = M g

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud
Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>
  • The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

  • The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

  • The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.
