The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

(forces and motion) explain in 3-2 sentences why acceleration is interesting.
Luden [163]

Answer:

  • Acceleration is a vector and is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration is not going fast.
  • If a person is moving fast but not changing speed, he is not accelerating.
  • The person or object has to be going fast sometimes, faster sometimes, or slower sometimes.

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

||||| A ball on a porch rolls 60 cm to the porch’s edge, drops 40 cm, continues rolling on the grass, and eventually stops 80 cm
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

d = 145.6 cm

Explanation:

first ball rolls on the porch by total distance

x_1 = 60 cm

Then again it will move on horizontal floor

x_2 = 80 cm

also in vertical direction it will drop down

y = 40 cm

so we have

x = 60 + 80

x = 140 cm

y = 40 cm

so magnitude of net displacement of the ball is given as

d = \sqrt{140^2 + 40^2}

d = 145.6 cm

What has alternating electric and magnetic fields that travel in the form of a wave?
8_murik_8 [283]

Option (B)is correct.

Alternating electric and magnetic fields has electromagnetic radiation that travel in the form of a wave.

The varying or alternating electric field produces the varying magnetic field.This varying magnetic field in turn produces varying electric field . Thus these varying electric and magnetic fields travel in the form of electromagnetic waves. These electromagnetic waves travel with the velocity of light.These are transverse in nature.
