Your answer would be B because potential energy is an object's potential to move while kinetic energy is the energy of the object in motion. So if the apple is falling, then the potential energy would decrease and its kinetic energy would increase. 

Hope this helps :)

A 900-kg car cruising at a constant speed of 60 km/h is to accelerate to 100 km/h in 4 s. The additional power needed to achieve
kiruha [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to power as a function of the change of energy with respect to time. But we will consider the energy in the body equivalent to kinetic energy. The change in said energy will be the difference between the two velocity data given by half of the mass. We will first convert the given units into an international system like this

Initial Velocity,

V_i = 60km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_i = 16.6667m/s

Final Velocity,

V_f = 100km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_f = 27.7778m/s

Now Power is defined as the change of Energy over the time,

P = \frac{E}{t}

But Energy is equal to Kinetic Energy,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m\Delta v^2}{t}

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{t}

Replacing,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (900)(27.7778^2-16.6667^2)}{4}

P = 56kW

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Explain how electric motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy​
alexdok [17]

Answer:

\rightarrow Electric motors build energy through the interaction between magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields may be generated by passing a current through a wire. Winding that wire into a coil intensifies the sector. Wrapping the coil around an iron core can intensify it more. One is going to be of the coil are North, the other South. Reverse the flow of current through the coil. The magnetic poles can swap. Place 2 separate coils close to one another and organize them therefore one turns whereas the opposite is fastened. Then build arrangements for this within the moving coil to reverse even as the opposite poles are about to line up.

Hope it helps!<3
