<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The K.E is zero</u><u> when she stops moving at the top of the swing </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Kinetic energy is the energy produced by the motion of the object and when the object is not moving so we consider the kinetic energy as zero. When the girl swings and the swing reaches its top point, it stops for a moment and then comes back so the point where the swing stops moving the kinetic energy is zero.

Sarai strolls to the right with an average speed of 1.2m/s for 1500 seconds. What was Sarai's displacement in meters?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1800 meters

Explanation:

Average speed=1.2 m/s

time= 1500 secs

Displacement = average speed × time

= 1.2 × 1500

=1800 meters

The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to

Mashutka [201]

<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span> $P=I^2 R$
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)

Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.

a man hits a golf ball (0.2kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s what amount of force acted on the ball

MAVERICK [17]

The ball only accelerates during the brief time that the club is in contact
with it. After it leaves the club face, it takes off at a constant speed.

If it accelerates at 20 m/s² during the hit, then

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.2kg) x (20 m/s²) = <em>4 newtons</em> .
