The list of choices you provided with your question
is utterly devoid of any such examples.

You did not give any answers to choose from. So I'll just explain to you what the difference is.

Kinetic energy means the object is in motion, or is moving.

Potential energy means the object is not moving, but it has the potential to.

Example:
You are holding your phone in your hand one foot above the ground and you are not moving it at all (Potential energy). You then drop your phone and it begins to fall (Kinetic energy).

Now, you hold your phone in your hand 6 feet above the ground and you are not moving it at all (More Potential energy). You then drop your phone and it begins to fall.. very very hard... (More Kinetic Energy).

John realized that his orchard has been invaded by certain harmful invasive plants. These plants are consuming all the soil nutr

Dovator [93]

John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.

An emf of 22.0 mV is induced in a 519-turn coil when the current is changing at the rate of 10.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$\phi=1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb$

Explanation:

Given that,

Emf, V = 22 mV

Number of turns in the coil us 519

Rate of change of current is 10 A/s.

We need to find the magnetic flux through each turn of the coil at an instant when the current is 3.70 A.

Let's find the inductance first. So,

$L=\dfrac{\epsilon}{(dI/dt)}\\\\L=\dfrac{0.022}{10}\\\\L=0.0022\ H$

We have,

$L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$ , $\phi$ is magnetic flux

$\phi=\dfrac{LI}{N}\\\\\phi=\dfrac{0.0022\times3.7}{519}\\\\\phi=1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb$

So, the magnetic flux is $1.56\times 10^{-5}\ Wb$ .

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J$

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
