Answer:
I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>
- <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>
Explanation:
Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.
The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>
Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,
As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy
G.P.E = K.E = mgh
K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)
K.E. = 23,520 J
1 watt = 1 joule per second = 1 newton meter per second = 1 kg m2 s-3
The difference between conductors and insulators is because
of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.
Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor
where free electrons help in conduction.
In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.
Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.
Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with
a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.
