False. Non moving objects can have energy in the form of gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, thermal energy, internal energy, nuclear energy, or chemical energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object. The classic example of potential energy is to pick up a brick. When it's on the ground, the brick had a certain amount of energy.

Explain why a greater frequency indicates greater energy in a wave.

kompoz [17]

Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higherthe frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths aremore energetic than long wavelengths.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance $d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m$

Speed of the comet $V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$

At distance $d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m$

where;

mass of the sun = $1.98 \times 10^{30}$

$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}$

To find the speed $V_f$ :

Using the formula:

$E_f = E_i + W \\ \\ where; \ \ W = 0 \ \ \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}$

$E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\ K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 + \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [ \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}$

$V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [ \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}$

$\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}$

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci

Georgia [21]

The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: What substances dissolve in ocean water?

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
