An object is released from rest high above the surface of the earth. When it has fallen halfway to the surface, its kinetic ener

gy is KE1. After it has fallen twice as far, just before it hits the surface of the earth, its kinetic energy is KE2. 1) How does KE2 compare to twice KE1

Answer:

There will be an increase in the kinetic energy

Explanation:

A falling object converts the gravitational potential energy to the kinetic energy. The potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy followed by the conversation:

E_{p} = E_{k}

where Ep and Ek are potential and kinetic energies respectively.

This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy. Halfway, the kinetic energy is equal to KE1.

However, the kinetic energy is given by the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

As the velocity increases, the kinetic energy increases. Hence KE2 will be greater than KE1

The total momentum of two marbles before a collision is 0.06 kg-m / s. no outside forces act on the marbles. what is the total m
SpyIntel [72]
Hi my friend, since momentum is always conserved without external forces, the momentum after the collosion will still be 0.06 kg*m/s. Hope it helps☺

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!
