Answer:

B. elastic PE to kinetic energy

Explanation:

As we know that when we stretch the slingshot to some distance then the elastic energy is stored into the sling which is given as

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

here we know that

k = elastic constant of the sling

x = stretch in the sling

now when we release the sling from that position then the shot will move with certain kinetic energy from it and sling comes to its natural length

so here we can say that elastic potential energy of the sling will convert into kinetic energy of the shot here so correct answer will be

B. elastic PE to kinetic energy

B. Elastic potential to kinetic energy

The elastic potential energy in the slingshot will be transferred to the stone as kinetic energy as the stone is launched.

Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?
Firlakuza [10]
Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

If light moves from left to right along the x-axis, then the electric field line vibrates along what?? :(
sasho [114]
All you can say about it is that it then vibrates perpendicular to the x-axis. But that could be up and down parallel to the y-axis, in and out parallel to the z-axis, or some of it in every possible direction perpendicular to the x-axis. We "polarize" the light when we want to pick out only one perpendicular direction and stop all the others.

Which of these systems is an oscillator? A. A barrel rolling down the hill B. A child sitting on a swing a skater falling on the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option B:

A child sitting on a swing.

Explanation:

When we hear the word oscillator, a good example is the pendulum bob of a grandfather clock. We can picture the motion to get a perfect understanding of its path of motion and relate it to other systems of motion in our everyday life.

An oscillator is a system that moves in such a way that it reverses its direction after a period of time. It can be seen as a "to-and-fro" motion.

From the options, a child sitting on a swing is the perfect example of an oscillating system because the child will be moving forwards and backwards, alternately reversing the direction of motion with time.
