Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.  

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 121.6 nanome
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

b) The star is moving away from us.

Explanation:

If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.

Gravity is a non contact force , jump from a little high place (don't do that :P) , you wont just get stuck in the air you will fall down , this is gravity you dont need any contact

A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.25 107 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the
Korolek [52]

Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs

Explanation:

given that

mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg

radius of a satellite's orbit, R=  earth's radius + height of the satellite

6.38X 10^6 +  3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m

Speed of satellite, v= \sqrt GM/R

where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2

V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)

V =10,241082.2

v= 3,200.2m/s

a) Orbital period

\sqrt GM/R = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

V= \frac{2\pi r}{T}

T= 2 \pi r/ V

= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s

=76,385.1 s

60 sec= 1min

60mins = 1hr

76,385.1s =hr

76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs
