Answer:
The car C has KE = 100, PE = 0
Explanation:
The principle of conservation of energy states that although energy can be transformed from one form to another, the total energy of the given system remains unchanged.
The energy that a body possesses due to its motion or position is known as mechanical energy. There are two kinds of mechanical energy: kinetic energy, KE and potential energy, PE.
Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its motion.
Potential energy is the energy a body possesses due to its position.
From the principle of conservation of energy, kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and vice versa, but in all cases the energy is conserved or constant.
In the diagram above, the cars at various positions of rest or motion are transforming the various forms of mechanical energy, but the total energy is conserved at every point. At the point A, energy is all potential, at B, it is partly potential partly kinetic energy, However, at the point C, all the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. At D, some of the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy as the car climbs up the hill.
Therefore, the car C has KE = 100, PE = 0
Answer:
3000 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is:
KE = ½ mv²
If m = 15 kg and v = -20 m/s:
KE = ½ (15 kg) (-20 m/s)²
KE = 3000 J
Answer:The rate of ejection of photoelectrons will increase
Explanation:
If the frequency of incident monochromatic light is held constant and its intensity is increased, the rate of ejection of photoelectrons from the metal surface increases with increase in intensity of the monochromatic light. More current flows due to more ejection of photoelectrons.
