a.
solar energy and thermal energy maintain kinetic equilibrium.
b.
solar energy is conserved as it creates thermal energy.
c.

d.
solar energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Gam radio signals can usually be heard behind a hill, but fm often cannot. that is, am signals bend more than fm. explain. (radio signals, as we shall see, are carried by electromagnetic waves whose wavelength for am is typically 200 to 600 m and for fm about 3 m.)

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Atruck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. first, he travels 8 km east, and then he turns around and travels 3 km west. finally, he turns again and travels 13 km to his destination. what is the drivers distance
