Answer:If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. ... Stored energy decreases. Energy of motion decreases. Total energy decreases
Explanation:
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg
It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.
(a) The kinetic energy is given by : 
As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.
(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : 
It can be calculated as :

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,
M = 0 J + 492.84 J
M = 492.84 J
Hence, this is the required solution.
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.
Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J
Thus, the answer is C.
Generally, the length of the line will indicate how strong the force is. If you have two opposing forces and one is higher than the other, you would draw the line of the higher force visibly longer.
