Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed. As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist

Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2$

For parallel combination,

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

$R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega$

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

$\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega$

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

When objects are heated they tend to expand because

densk [106]

Hello!
===
When objects are heated, their molecules tend to vibrate fast. As they vibrate, the space between each atom increases. This keeps on happening, and the object expands until it has cooled down.

Hope this helps! :)

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.

Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

$1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A$
