Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.
Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.
What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.
(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)

Regarding the other choices:
-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.
-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
Answer:
88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle
Explanation:
Applying,
F = mv²/r................... Equation 1
F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.
But,
v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2
Where t = time, π = pie
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
F = m(2πr/t)²/r
F = 4π²r²m/t²r
F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s
Constant: π = 3.14
Substitute these values into equation 3
F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²
F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle
Answer:
993.52 Hz
Explanation:
The frequency of sound emitted by the stationery train is 1057 Hz.
The car travels away from the train at 20.6 m/s.
The frequency the observer hears is given by the formula:
where v = velocity of sound = 343 m/s
vo = velocity of observer
f = frequency from source
This phenomenon is known as Doppler's effect.
Therefore:
The frequency heard by the observer is 993.52 Hz.
A mechanical wave<span> requires an initial energy input. Once this initial energy is added, the </span>wave travels through<span> the medium until all its energy is transferred.</span>
