m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg
v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s
K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?
kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as
K = (0.5) m v²
inserting the values
K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²
K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)
K = (1150) (1024)
K = 1177600 J
hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J
Answer:
The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

Answer:
c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum
Explanation:
In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.
When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
Answer is b that is Heat energy from below the ground converts water to steam to drive a steam turbine attached to an electrical generator.. .
