<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

98,000 joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Kinetic is the energy possessed by a body in motion; while kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while at rest.

Potential energy is given by; mgh, where m is the mass, g the gravity, 9.8 m/s² and h is the height.

Energy can be transformed from one form to another and can neither be created or destroyed.

Therefore;

Potential energy = 2000 × 5 × 9.8

= 98,000 joules

Therefore, the kinetic energy will still be 98,000 joules, when the body is in motion.

Explanation:

You haven't changed (you are made up of the same atoms), but the force exerted on you is different. Physicists like to say that your mass hasn't changed, only your weight.

A common misconception is that an object always moves when a force acts on it. Why is this statement incorrect? Explain the conc

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion

Explanation:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion. It could be in static equilibrium where the net force is zero and produces not motion. The body could also be in dynamic equilibrium when no net force acts on it moving at a constant velocity. But here we are concerned with static equilibrium since the body does not move at all.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion and, we have seen from the above tat its not always true.

Technician A says that current is created in the stator windings of an alternator. Technician B says that the voltage regulator

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Technician A and Technician B both are right.

Explanation:

In an AC alternator, there are two windings

1. Stator winding (stationary)

2. Rotor winding (rotating)

The current is induced in the stationary coils due to the magnetic field produced by the rotor. The DC suppy is provided to the rotor winding via slip rings and brushes and a voltage regulator precisely controls this supply to control the current flow through the rotor.

Therefore, both technicians are right.

A 0.001kg bullet is fired with a velocity of 800m/s into a soft wood of mass 1kg resting on a smooth surface. Find the final vel

V125BC [204]

The final velocity of the bullet+block is 0.799 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-block system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically, we can write:

$mu+MU=(m+M)v$
