Without the choices this is difficult to answer but some examples of potential energy are:

- <span>Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

- Stretching a rubber band and holding it. It has potential energy.

- Chemical energy in a battery has potential energy.

Hope this helps!</span>

Answer:

The best example is when a swing reaches the top of the arc, it has maximum potential energy. Another example is throwing a ball, at the highest point, the potential energy is greatest. A drawn bow also is an example of potential energy.

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy of an object's position or the stored energy (potential to work).

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.5 kg, collide on a pool table. Is the law of conservation of momentum satisfied in the collisio

Dmitriy789 [7]

During the collision between two balls on the pool table there is no external force along the line of collision between them

Since there is no external force on it so here we can say

$F = 0 = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have

$\Delta P = 0$

so we can say

$P_i = P_f$

since there is no external force so we can say during the collision the momentum of two balls will remain conserved

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2 for 30.0 s before leaving the ground. a. How far di

rosijanka [135]

The formula we can use in this case is:

d = v0t + 0.5 at^2

v = at + v0

where,

d = distance travelled

v0 = initial velocity = 0 since at rest

t = time travelled

a = acceleration

v = final velocity when it took off

a. d = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 30^2

d = 1350 m

b. v = 3 * 30 + 0

Does a thicker core make an electromagnet stronger?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.

Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

$L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$
