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>

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>

Lelu [443]
Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Mariah trained for months leading up to the marathon and won. Her sole motivation was that after seeing her winning the marathon, her friends and family would call her as motivated and athletic. It means that Mariah wanted to fulfill her esteem needs.

Explanation:

<u>According to Abraham Maslow:</u>

Safety needs includes the personal security, the safety of health, resources and property. etc.

Physiological needs falls at the lowest level of basic needs. It includes food, water, rest. etc which are necessary for an individual's survival.

Esteem includes the need of respect and self-confidence.

Cognitive needs includes the desire of knowledge, to know things, to know what is happening and why is it happening around you.

<u>In Mariah's case</u><u>, she needed respect and motivation and thus she was trying to fulfill her esteem needs by winning the marathon.</u>
