Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (400 kg) (50 m/s)²

KE = (200 kg) (2500 m²/s²)

KE = 500,000 kg-m²/s²

<em>KE = 500,000 Joules</em>

KE = 1/2 Mega-Joule

"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem

padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.

At what point in its motion is the KE of a pendulum bob a maximum? 1. The KE does not change. 2. at the lowest point 3. at the h

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2. at the lowest point

Explanation:

The motion of the pendulum is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE). This is because the mechanical energy of the pendulum, which is sum of KE and GPE, is constant:

E = KE + GPE = const.

Therefore, when KE is maximum, GPE is minimum, and viceversa.

So, the point of the motion where the KE is maximum is where the GPE is minimum: and since the GPE is directly proportional to the heigth of the bob:

$GPE=mgh$

we see that GPE is minimum when the bob is at the lowest point,so the correct answer is

2. at the lowest point
