Answer: A yo-yo in someone's hand

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its position. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body due to virtue of its motion.

A swimmer kicking their legs, a car driving on the road, an arrow flying at a target possess kinetic energy because of their motion. A yo-yo in someone's hand possess elastic potential energy.

A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the pelican, h = 5.0 m

horizontal distance, X = 8.9 m

The time of flight is given by;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*5}{9.81} } \\\\t = 1.01 \ s

The initial horizontal speed of the pelican is given by;

X = vₓt

vₓ = X / t

vₓ = 8.9 / 1.01

vₓ = 8.81 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

A woman pushes a 27 kg lawnmower at a steady speed. She exerts a 120 N force in a direction 35◦ below the horizontal. The accele
nikklg [1K]

The vertical force exerted on the lawn is 68.8 N downward

Explanation:

The vertical force exerted by the lawnmower on the lawn is equal to the vertical component of the force applied, therefore:

F_y = F sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal

In this problem:

F = 120 N

\theta=-35^{\circ}

Substituting,

F_y = (120)(sin 30)=-68.8 N

where the negative sign means the direction of the force is downward.

Which component measures the potential difference across a branch in a circuit? A.switch. B.resistor. C.ammeter. D.voltmeter.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).
