Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).


Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).



Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o
muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

\Delta v = v_f - v_i

\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3

\Delta v = -38.1 km/s

\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

given that

\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s

\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s

now the acceleration is given as

a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}

a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2

so above is the acceleration

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.72 g need in order to have the same kinetic energy as a 1250 kg automobile traveling at
Elena L [17]
Kinetic of automobile

Mass m = 1,250 Kg;         V = 11 m/s

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mV²

               K.E = 1/2(1,250 Kg)(11 m/s)²

               K.E = 75,625 J

Speed required for insect to have the same kinetic energy as automobile

Mass of insect = 0.72 g convert to Kg   m = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

K.E = 1/2 mV²  Derive V =?

 V = 2 K.E/m

 V = √2(75,625 J)/7.2 x 10⁻4 Kg

 V = √2.1 x 10⁸ m²/s²

 V = 14,491.34 m/s  (velocity of insect)
