Which statement best compares potential and kinetic energy?

Physics
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is basically energy while in motion, while potential is energy stored in a still object. When that still object starts moving the stored energy slowlyt decreases while turning into kinetic energy allowing the kinetic energy to increase.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The hairs would have acquired charge by the passing of dry winds resulting in the loss of electron.

Explanation:

While standing on the top of a mountain if a person gets its hairs stand up after a cloud passes over, this might happen due to the static electric charges on the lower surface of the cloud  are opposite in nature to that of hairs which the hairs would have acquired by the passing of dry winds which would have resulted in the loss of electron from the hair tip.

Similar case happens when we rub a dry plastic ruler or a dry plastic comb on our hairs.

A brick sits on the top of a hill with a gravitational potential energy of 245 J. To determine the gravitational potential of th
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.

What formula gives the strength of an electric field, E, at a distance from a known source charge?
Deffense [45]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: Coulomb's law equation.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The Coulomb's law states that the strength of an electric field (between two charges) can be calculated by multiplying their charges and dividing it into the square of the distance between their centers.

E=\frac{k*q*Q}{d^{2} }

Where:

E = Electric Field Strenght

k=9.0*10^{9}  \frac{N.m^{2} }{C^{2} }

q=TestCharge\\Q=SourceCharge\\

d = separation between charges (m)

Have a nice day!
