Define potentiol energy , kenetic energy.​

Physics

Pani-rosa [81]2 years ago

Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Hey there!

Potential energy and kinetic energy are the two main groups of energy when it comes to all of that. Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is released.

For example, potential energy is when you hold a ball higher than the ground,  and kinetic energy is when you release the ball.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

Why do you think that some asteroids tumble end over end through space while other asteroids rotate around their axis?
olga2289 [7]
Imagine a lonely asteroid there in space, untouched, not rotating, just still. Then another asteroid passes by and comes into contact with that first asteroid. Upon collision, based on the conservation of elastic momentum, the asteroid that was once still moves; it may even spin if the incoming asteroid hit it at its side. Now asteroids have three angles or rotation (three dimensions): θ (theta - to the x-axis), φ (phi - to the y-axis), and let's say ψ (psi - to the z-axis). So these asteroids wobble through space, spinning like crazy.

I may have gone too in depth. Sorry, lol.
I hope this helped!

PHYSICAL SCIENCE : What are the advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear energy to generate electricity?
Gnesinka [82]

Nuclear energy is EXTREMELY ecofriendly, punching down any fossil fuels and even wind energy. It also is reliable, and has low emissions. However, nuclear energy is somewhat expensive and can go wrong, being dangerous to the environment and people. Along with this, uranium is finite and radioactive waste disposal is really bad.

What is the speed of each neutron as they crash together? keep in mind that both neutrons are moving?
Sophie [7]
This involves shooting electrons (from an accelerator) at a target or protons. This technique provided evidence for the existence of quarks. <span>proton-antiproton scattering as well.

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a. any process during which the entropy of the universe increases will be product
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. Any process in which the entropy of the universe increases will be product-favored

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the change in entropy of a closed system with time is always positive. That is the entropy of the entire universe, considered as an isolated system, always increases with time, hence the entropy change in the universe will always be positive.

\Delta S_{universe} = \Delta S_{system}  + \Delta S_{surroundings} >0

Therefore, any process in which the entropy of the universe increases will be product favored.

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.
