Answer:

Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.

Answer:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others.

Explanation:

potential energy can also be defined as the energy that is stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position

Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.

Ostrovityanka [42]

The correct answer is:

Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

$W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i$

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.

Formed through longshore drift a. sea stack b. sandbar c. spit d. headland

ANTONII [103]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Sand Spit or Spit

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Long shore drift is the process that occurs when a sheet of water moves on and off the beach, in other words the swash and back swash, thus capturing and transporting sediment on the beach back out to the sea.
Sandbar is normally formed when the sandspit stretches across a bay and connects the two sides. Headland is a high piece of land that extends out onto the sea. Sea stacks on the other hand results from the collapsing of the roof of the arch.
