What is the definition of kinetic energy and potentail energy?

2 answers:

Potential energy definition. The energy an object has because of its position, rather than its motion. An object held in a person's hand has potential energy, which turns to kinetic energy — the energy of motion — when the person lets it go, and it drops to the ground.

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.Or in other words, the energy you use when you are moving around.
Potential energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in place. Or in other words when your body is not in motion.

Hope this helped. :)

The evil team of Ms. Moonstruck and Mr. Luny intend to deflect the Moon from its orbit around Earth by pulling it with a force o

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

92867kg

Explanation:

DATA:

mass of the moon ' $m_1$ '= 7.36 x $10^2^2$ kg

mass of the mini black hole ' $m_2$ '=?

universal gravitational constant= 6.67x $10^-^1^1$ Nm²/kg²

distance 'r'= 7.47× $10^6$ m

force 'F'= 8170N

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

$m_2=$ $\frac{(8170)(7.47*10^6)^2}{(6.67*10^-^1^1)(7.36*10^2^2)}$

$m_2=$ 92867kg

What energy transformation occurs when a skydiver first jumps from a plane

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The skydiver jumping from a plane high up in the sky would most likely experience various energy transformation. For starters, it would undergo a very large gravitational potential energy because of its much higher elevation. After jumping, this energy would eventually transform to kinetic energy due to the force exerted by the gravity.

A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 18 meters per second from the top of a 38 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o

Roman55 [17]

The rock would be at a point 12 m from water at a time 4.8 s.

Take the origin of the coordinate system at the top of the cliff. It is thrown upwards with a velocity u. When the rock is at a point 12 m from water, calculate the vertical displacement of the rock from the origin.

$y= -38m- (-12 m)=-26 m$
