Answer:

First, the raised hammer has more potential energy since it has the potential to go higher or lower. Second, when you hit the hammer on the table, the stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the hammer is falling. (It's the falling hammer that has kinetic energy)

Explanation:

Another example-When rolling a ball down a ramp the ball at its highest point has potential energy but when it rolls down the ramp it converts to kinetic energy

Alicia often travels from the very hot climate of South Africa to her native North America. Which sensory receptor helps her adj

qaws [65]

The right option is; Thermoreceptors

Thermoreceptors helps her adjust to the change in the temperature of her surroundings.

Thermoreceptors are specialized nerve cells that are sensitive to detect changes in heat energy (temperature). Thermoreceptors are found in every part of the skin. They detect heat and cold, therefore, they allow sensory reception within the body. The sensitivity of the skin to temperature changes is based on the number of thermoreceptors and where they are located.

What is the difference in distance between NGC 5236 and NGC 4151

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

NGC 5236 aka M83 and the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy is a barred pinwheel type galaxy. NGC 4151 is categorized as a Seyfert type galaxy.

Explanation:

Barred spiral galaxies such as NGC 5236 generally have a elongated center that is called a bar. From that bar are arms that spiral. The arms are composed of star and stellar material. The spaces in-between hold much less stellar matter.

Seyfert type galaxies, such as NGC 4151, are generally characterized by a core that is bright, compact, and is not shaped like a bar. This type of galaxy generally has spiral arms as well.
