Answer:

KE increases and PE decreases.

Explanation:

<u>POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE)</u>:

The potential energy of the rock depends upon the height of the rock, as given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

Therefore, the potential energy will be highest at the initial point due to the highest height attained by rock. As the rock falls, its height will decrease as a result its <u>potential energy will also decrease</u>.

<u>KINETIC ENERGY (KE)</u>:

The kinetic energy of the rock depends upon the velocity of the rock, as given by the following formula:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Therefore, the kinetic energy will be zero at the initial point due to the zero velocity of the rock. As the rock falls, its velocity will increase as a result its <u>kinetic energy will also increase</u>.

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>KE increases and PE decreases.</u>

what will the stopping distance be a a 3000-kg car if -3000N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10 m/s
Inga [223]

Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

Acceleration= force/mass

3000/3000=1m/s^-2

Applying equation of motion:

V^2=U^2+2as; V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is the distance covered.

0=10^2 -2*1s;

Solve for s

two children sit on a merry go round. on sits 0.5 m from the center and the other sits 3 m from the center. Which child has grea
GuDViN [60]

i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.

hope this helps!
