B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about kinetic energy and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, Potential energy is known as “stored energy” that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.

Answer from: operrt

B. II and III only

Explanation:

Energy can be transformed from one type to another, because there are many different types of energy.

In this case we are talking about kinetic energy and potential energy.

Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or its height above the ground.And kinetic energy is the energy that a moving object has (an object with a speed).

So it is possible that the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy (for example when a ball is thrown upwards, the more it rises it has less kinetic energy but it has more potential energy)

and it is also possible that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (if that same ball is dropped from a certain height, when it falls it losses potential energy because it loses height but gains potential energy)

II. Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

and

III. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

are true.

which is option B. II and III only

The freezing and boiling point of a substance changes as the air pressure around it changes. for example, at a lower air pressure (higher altitude) it is easier for water molecules to escape from liquid into the air. in a high altitude city such as denver, colorado compared to a sea-level city such as houston, texas, water

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x,y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.
