Answer: it depends potential energy is the build up of kinetic energy like going to the top of a roller coaster. kintic is the use of the potential energy like going down the roller coaster so depends how much energy one another give :)

Hope this helps you out :)

Answer:

Explanation:

The question has no set meaning. Suppose you take a rock to the top of a building. You put the rock over the edge of the building. You don't drop it yet. The potential energy is greatest for the rock under this condition. The kinetic energy is 0 because the rock is not moving.

Now you let the rock go. As it falls, it looses distance to the ground which means that the Potential energy is nearing 0. The Kinetic energy is picking up because the rock is moving faster.

At the bottom of the rock's journey just before it hits the ground, the KE is at a maximum and the PE is nearly 0.

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

$p = \frac{fd}{t} \\ where \: \\p = power \\ f = force \\ d = distance \\ and \: t = time \\ \\ p = \frac{3800 \times 50}{10} \\ p = \frac{190000}{10} \\ p = 19000w$

How do observing and inferring differ?

Illusion [34]

Observing is commenting on what you see e.g: It is raining.
Inferring is drawing conclusions from observations for example you see the road is wet so you might infer that it rained last night.
