Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s

The main reason that most professional research telescopes are reflectors is that
GuDViN [60]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Large mirrors are easier to build than large lenses.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Reflector telescopes have a number of advantages as compared to refracting telescopes and other types of telescopes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way. The support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very large.</u></em>
  • Additionally, reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size. Also since in reflector telescopes light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.
