Answer:
False
Explanation:
Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).
Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).
Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.
A piece of ice absorbs heat and melts. Which statement best describes the
changes in the ice as it melts?
A. The potential energy of the particles increases as intermolecular
forces are overcome.
B. The potential energy of the particles increases as the temperature
increases.
C. The kinetic energy of the particles increases as the temperature
increases.
D. The kinetic energy of the particles increases as intermolecular
forces are overcome.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
a p ex
The potential energy of the particles increases as intermolecular forces are overcome.
When a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. Water molecules become less orderly and they spread apart.
What is potential energy ?"Potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors." An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position.

Which object has the most thermal energy?
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The object with the most thermal energy is the choice B. This is because from the given choices, it has the most mass and highest temperature of all the bricks.
Thermal energy is the sum total of the average kinetic energy within the system.
It is mathematically expressed as:
Quantity of energy = mass x specific heat x change in temperature
We see that the quantity of the thermal energy is directly proportional to mass and temperature changes.

Explanation:
How does convection create wind patterns at a beach? A. The Sun heats the water and the land equally during the day, but at night heat from the land rises, causing warm air over the water to rush toward shore. B. Electromagnetic waves from the Sun are absorbed in Earth's atmosphere, which is warmed and then reemits the heat as electromagnetic waves. C. Increasing temperature means greater kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy shows itself as movement of the air molecules. D. During the day, air over the warm land heats up and rises, while cooler air that was over the water is drawn in to shore to replace it. SUBMIT
Answer:
D. During the day, air over the warm land heats up and rises, while cooler air that was over the water is drawn in to shore to replace it.
Explanation:
Convection creates wind patterns at a beach by the force of land and sea breeze which are different wind patterns that move air masses.
Convection is a form of heat transfer that occur mainly in fluids such as gases and in liquids.
During the day, the air over the land is warmed. The land is a good conductor heat better than the ocean. This air masses rises and move towards the ocean. The colder air from the ocean moves landward to replace this air mass.
As the cold air gets warmer at land, it rises and move ocean-ward again.

If I stretch a standard rubber band (mass of 0.01 kg, spring constant of 40 N/m) 0.25 meters, how high would it launch into the air?
Answer:
You have a hooks law problem F=kx Where F= (40 N/m)× (0.25 meters) F= 10 N Hence the force is 10 NAnswer: The answer would be 12.5 m
