Kinetic energy is energy in motion,while potential energy is energy at rest. 

Car A is parked, so it consists of potential energy. 
Car B is driving, so its in motion, (kinetic energy). 

Answer: <span>B) Car A has potential energy and Car B has kinetic energy.</span>

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

1. In general, the best shields will be able to block a spectrum of radiation. Aboard the space station, the use of hydrogen-rich shielding such as polyethylene in the most frequently occupied locations, such as the sleeping quarters and the galley, has reduced the crew's exposure to space radiation.

2. It absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, helps keep Earth's surface warm via the greenhouse effect, and reduces temperature extremes between day and night. ... So, thanks to gravity, although some of Earth's atmosphere is escaping to space, most is staying here.

hope it helps. please mark me as brainliest and follow me ❤️

A 360-nm thick oil film floats on the surface of a pool of water. the indices of refraction of the oil and the water are 1.5 and
jenyasd209 [6]
The correct answer is 432, and 720.
The thickness of a film is t= 360nm
the refractive index of oil n₀t = (m +1/2) λ
For m =0
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)
= 2160nm
for m = 1
λ = 4n₀t
= 4(1.50)(360)/3
= 720nm
m = 2
λ = 4n₀t/5 = 4(1.50)(360)/5
= 432nm
The wavelength which are most strongly reflected are
432nm, 720nm.

Consider the following reaction proceeding at 298.15 K: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq,0.15 M)⟶Cu2+(aq, 1.14 M)+2Ag(s) If the standard reduction
lutik1710 [3]

Answer : The cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V

E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=0.80V

E^o=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^o=0.80V-(0.34V)=0.46V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of cell potential for this cell.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}][Ag]^2}{[Cu][Ag^+]^2}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0.46-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.14)\times (1)^2}{(1)\times (0.15)}

E_{cell}=0.434V

Therefore, the cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

A 85-kg astronaut is stranded from his space shuttle. He throws a 1-kg hammer away from the shuttle with a velocity of 17 m/s. H
algol [13]

Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s
