The energy that transforms into kinetic energy is the Potential Energy. It happens that objects can store energy as a result of its position. Image for example a slingshot. When you stretch the slingshot, it stores energy, this energy would be the energy you used to stretch the slingshot, the material aborbs it and then release to throw the projectile.
Now, on earth and everywhere in the universe where you are close to an object with mass, it exists a force called gravity that attracts you towards that object. Every object that has mass exercises gravitational attration towards the other objects. It just happens that Earth is has so much mass that its gravitational pull is way stronger that the gravitational pull of another object on its surface. This means things will tend to be as close as earth as possible, and in order to move something away from earth, you will have to perform a force in the opposite direction to Earth and, therefore, consume energy. This energy will be store as potential energy, and when you drop the object, the potential energy will be the energy that will transform to kinetic energy.
Answer:

Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is given by:

where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v
For the rocket in this problem,
u = 20,000 m/s
v = 24,000 m/s
t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s
Substituting,

Answer:
Explanation:
Speed is scalar and velocity is vector. Vector values imply direction as well as magnitude. Therefore, speed and velocity are not the same. The speeds of these 2 planes are the same at 300km/hr, but the velocity of the plane traveling north is +300km/hr while the velocity of the plane traveling south is -300km/hr if we define north as positive and south as negative.
Answer: option D) 42.4 N
The weight of the frame is balanced by the vertical component of tension.
W = T sin θ + T sin θ = 2 T sin θ
The tension in each cable is T = 30 N
Angle made by the cables with the horizontal, θ = 45°
⇒ W = 2×30 N × sin 45° = 2 × 30 N × 0.707 = 42.4 N
Hence, the weight of the frame is 42.4 N. Correct option is D.
