Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.
Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.
What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.
(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________
Regarding the other choices:
-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.
-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
A compound is the substances that are formed by combining two are more chemical elements. A mixture is a substance created from two or more matter that can be separate with the help of physical methods. ... Mainly pure water is part of the compound. Mixtures fall under impure water.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!

Answer:
25.6 m/s
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the sled. There are two forces acting on the sled:
Normal force pushing perpendicular to the hill
Weight force pulling straight down
Take sum of the forces parallel to the hill:
∑F = ma
mg sin θ = ma
a = g sin θ
a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 38.0°)
a = 6.03 m/s²
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 6.03 m/s²
t = 4.24 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (6.03 m/s²) (4.24 s) + (0 m/s)
v = 25.6 m/s
