<u>Answer
</u>
A. 1 and 2
<u>Explanation
</u>
At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.
At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.
The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.
P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.
From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.
This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.
No force is necessary to keep a moving object moving (in a straight line at a constant speed).
The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.
<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>
It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

- Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

- So, to
find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame. - We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

- Substituting values, we get,


Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
