Potential energy is an object’s stored energy when it is not moving. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy in motion. You can’t be both moving and not moving at the same time, so PE and KE cannot be equal.

A 99.1-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =

Stels [109]

Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N$

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s$

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.
