Answer:

E=1.53\times 10^7\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the car, m = 17,690 kg

The speed of the car over the hill, v = 5 m/s

The car is 87.4 m above the  ground.

We need to find the total mechanical energy of the car-Earth system. Mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. So,

E=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=17690\times 9.8\times 87.4+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 17690 \times (5)^2\\\\E=1.53\times 10^7\ J

So, the total mechanical energy of the car-Earth system is 1.53\times 10^7\ J.

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

A positively charged body exerts an electric field that causes a positively charged particle to move away from it. If work is do
ollegr [7]

Answer:

b. electric potential energy.

Explanation:

The energy required to move a charge against the electric field is known as the electric potential energy. As in above case positively charged body is exerting an electric field on the positive charge. As the same charges repel so the charge tend to move away. In order to push it towards the body we need a work done. As it is hard to push the positive charged particle towards the positive electric field. So in the cases like these particle occupies the electric potential energy.
