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.

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Radio waves have longer wavelength

Explanation:

Radio wave is an electromagnetic frequency that has the ability to travel through long distance. They have frequencies shuttling been the range of 10^4 hz and a frequency of 10^12 hz

Light wave is also called visible light. This is because it is visible to the naked eye, despite it being in the electromagnetic spectrum. It's frequency is usually between 4*10^-7 hz and a frequency of 7*10^-7 hz.

As can be seen from both, the radio waves length are quite far stronger than that of the light waves.
