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.
<span>Technician a says that to prevent injuries in an auto accident, all steering columns have a break-off steering wheel. technician b says that to prevent injuries in an accident, all steering columns are now fitted with a flexible rubber tube. Both technicians are correct. The </span>vehicle manufacturers use break away steering column mounting brackets to protect the driver in an accident. The <span>vehicle manufacturers are required to use collapsible shafts in the steering column. </span>

what are simple machines lol
Explanation:
Answer:
Distance between them after 5 hours is 300 km.
Explanation:
From point A a vehicle leaves at 80 km / h at the same time a cyclist leaves at 20 km / h at what distance is they from each other after 5 hours.
Distance traveled by A in 5 hours = speed x time = 80 x 5 = 400 km
Distance traveled by B in 5 hours = speed x time = 20 x 5 = 100 km
The distance between them after 5 hours = 400 - 100 = 300 km

Explanation:
A resistor is a passive electrical component that uses a circuit element with electric resistance. Resistors are used in electronics for reducing current flow, changing signal rates, dividing voltages, biasing active components, and terminating columns, among other applications.
