1. Bowling ball sitting in the rack:
kinetic energy = 0, because the ball is not in motion - we have only potential energy in this case
2. Bowling ball knocking pins down:
at the moment of knocking kinetic energy is increased, while the potential energy is decreased

Consider two blocks of copper. Block A contains 800 atoms and initially has a total of 20 quanta of energy. Block B contains 200
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Option B and Option D are true

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of atoms in block A = 800

Energy content in block A = 20 quanta

Number of atoms in block B = 200

Energy content in block B = 80 quanta

The energy of a system which is an extensive quantity,depends on the mass or number of moles of the system. However, at equilibrium, the energy density of the two copper blocks will be equal. That is, each atom of Cu in the two blocks will, on average, have the same energy. Because block A has 4 times more atoms than block B, it will have 4 times more quanta of energy. Thus, option B is therefore true while option A is false.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in a material. Now, if each atom in blocks A and B have the same average energy, then the temperatures of blocks A and B will be equal at equilibrium. Thus, option D is true.

Entropy of a system is an extensive quantity that depends on the the mass or number of atoms in the system. Because block A is bigger than block B, it will have higher entropy. However, that the specific entropy (the entropy per mole or per unit mass) is an intensive quantity -- it is independent of the size of a system. The molar entropy of blocks A and B are equal at equilibrium. Thus option C is false.

What is the force of an object with a mass of 65 kg and an an unknown acceleration?
Alik [6]

We know, F = m.a

F = 65 * a

Where, F = force

a = unknown acceleration

Which of these is an example of how an abiotic factor affects a biotic factor
eimsori [14]
Abiotic factors<span> are especially important because they directly </span>affect<span> how organisms survive. These factors are the conditions of the environment where the living organisms live. When these factors are changed or altered, the organisms should adapt to that change or else they will not survive. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
Lerok [7]

|acceleration|  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in the car's speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change  =  10 sec

|acceleration| = (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s² .

That's the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
We don't know anything about its direction.
