PART a)
As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance
so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position
So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point
PART b)
Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here
so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum
So here speed is maximum at the nearest point
Part C)
since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant
Explanation:
First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.
Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.
Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.
And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.
Then the correct option is:
Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant
Air pressure pushing in on the balloon decreases as the balloon rises.
Answer:
3- kinetic energy was transferred from the water to the ice
Explanation:
the kinetic energy in this situation is the molecules vibrating so the molecules in the ice absorb it and make the molecules not vibrate so it gets colder
