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.

What’s the velocity of a ball falling with 100 joules of kinetic energy and a mass of 2 kilograms

ohaa [14]

Answer:

the velocity is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Using the expression for kinetic energy we have:

$Ek=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\\\Ek=100J\\m=2kg\\v=\sqrt{(2*100/2)}\\ v=10[m/s]$

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$
