Which object has the most Kinetic Energy, and why?
Ilya [14]
A small rock quickly rolling down a hill because as the velocity or speed increases the particles in the rock start to increase kinetic energy. The particles start to act up and create more energy. Also because the small rock would go faster than a giant rock because of Newton's second law. Can I have brainliest pls?

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w
Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.
