Potential energy is what something has energy of staying still. if a car was the the top of a hill that’s where it has the most potential. kinetic energy is energy in motion. as that car on the hill starts to roll down, the potential of it lowers as the kinetic raises

Answer:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest while kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position while kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is the energy acting on a body at rest(not moving) while kinetic energy is the energy acting on moving object(motion).

Example of potential energy is the energy possessed by a parked car. The parked car is not moving i.e the car is in a state of rest

Example of kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an accelerating car. The car is in motion (moving).

aliina [53]

Answer: a. net force is acting on object A in the same direction of its motion.

Explanation:

The second law of Newton states that the acceleration of a particular object is dependent on two main things which are the mass and force. According to the law, the acceleration of the object will be directly related to the net force while the acceleration is also relates inversely to the mass.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, a force is acting on object A in the same direction of its motion.

A 1056-hertz tuning fork is sounded at the same time a piano note is struck. You hear three beats per second. What is the freque
boyakko [2]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

There is not enough information in the question. A beat is the observed differences between two frequencies.

Hence, 3 beat represents a difference of 3-hertz between the two frequencies. So the frequency of the piano string could be 1056+3 = 1059-hertz or 1056-3= 1053-hertz.

In order to ascertain the actual value i.e if it is an increase or a decrease in frequency observed, we need more information.

An electron, moving toward the west, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this field the electron curves upward. The dire
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field's direction is towards the north</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge in a uniform magnetic field is represented by the right hand rule. To determine the direction of the force, place your right hand with your palm up, and your thumb at 90° to the other fingers. If the fingers represent the magnetic field, and the thumb the direction of the positive charge, then the palm will push up in the direction of the force. But a negative charge like an electron pushes in exactly the opposite direction. So if you follow this rule, you will find that the magnetic field points towards the north.
