Answer:

Kinetic

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is due to the speed or movement of the particles. When an object is heated, the particles in it absorb the heat energy and as a result, the speed of the particles increases.

Average kinetic energy of the particles or of a system is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.When the temperature is lowered, the speed decreases and as a result kinetic energy also decreases.

When the temperature increases, the speed of the particles increases and  hence kinetic energy also increases.

Cause and Effect: What would happen to a space vehicle in orbit around Earth if it sped up?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

G M m / R^2 = m v^2 / R     gravitational force = centripetal force

G M = v^2 R   =    constant

As v increases R will must decrease

Take the moon as an example

S = 2 pi R   where R is about 240,000 miles for one orbit

S / 1 day = 54,000 miles/day  for a 28 day circuit

S / 1 hr = 54000 / 24 = 2200 mph  which is much less than a satellite in orbit

a 20-kg object travelling at 20 m/s collides head on with an 18-kg object travelling at 17 m/s.If they were locked together afte
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

2.47 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass X Velocity

If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,

Total momentum before = Total momentum after

Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)

= 94

Total momentum after = 94

Y = Object speed after collision

94 = (20+18)Y

Y = 2.47368421 m/s

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

cone geyser

Explanation:

The Old Faithful geyser is the oldest discovered geyser in the Yellowstone national park. The eruptions of the geyser are particularly predictable. It is a cone type geyser.

Cone geysers generally have a spout through which the water ejects out. When super heated water in the tube then the water starts to boil and form bubbles of steam, after this process the eruption takes place.
