balandron [24]

Answer:

E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Explanation:

Since the object is moving in gravitational field

potential energy + kinetic energy = constant = 14 J

At  x = 3 m , potential energy is minimum that is zero

kinetic energy will be maximum .

Kinetic energy = 14 - 0 = 14 J

Hence option ( E ) is the answer.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

What is the kinetic energy of a 2,000-kg boat moving at 5.0 m/s?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

25kJ

Explanation:

K = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 x 2000kg x (5.0m/s)^2

= 25 x 10^3 J = 25kJ

What kind of front occurs when a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass?
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, a front is formed and if the cold air is replacing the warm air, it is known as a cold front. Cold fronts frequently cause thunderstorms or rain showers because they pressure the air in a steep upward direction at the front's edge. They are also responsible to bring the changes in atmospheric pressure and wind direction.
