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.

Suppose that two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of 16 units. If the mass of both objects was doubled, and

Answer:

Distance, such that displacement over time is taken into account doesn't change regardless of the length in x meters or mass in kg
So the force will remain constant given 16 units

Answer:

Before sled starts to move it has a potential energy due to the elevation...and then that potential energy converted to kinetic energy due to presence of a velocity...the sled will continue to move if their is no resesive force...but however friction force is presence that cause the sled to stop....

Which balances the equation Mg + O2 — MgO?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

To balance an equation such as Mg + O2 → MgO, the number of the atoms in the product must equal the number of the atoms in the reactant. Mg + O2 --> MgO. To balance an equation, we CAN change coefficients, but NOT SUBSCRIPTS to balance equations.
