Potential energy
potential energy is the stored energy an object has, the bike is not moving and it just sitting on the hill, with the stored energy
Answer:
State A = piece of metal; State B = air
Explanation:
For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.
Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape
Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape
Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.
Knowing this State A has to be solid. Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer. Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.
So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.
So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.
In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.
This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.
Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.
