Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy acquired due to the motion of an object.

Mathematically,         kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where                 m = mass

                           v = velocity

Therefore, kinetic energy depends on the mass and square of velocity. Hence, more is the mass of an object more will be its velocity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, train will have more mass as compared to other objects, therefore, train will have highest kinetic energy.

The greatest amount of kinetic energy is found with the train because it takes most energy to reach that velocity and also to slow down to a halt.

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 n/c electric field at a point 1.0 m away?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C

Why is it very difficult for astronomers to find objects like planets and asteroids?
mezya [45]
It is difficult for astronomers to find object like planets and asteroids because it takes a lot of time to verify the objects locations and what surrounds a certain object in order to prove and be precise of its location
