Which example best represents translational kinetic energy?

a plucked string on a guitar

the moving blades of a ceiling fan

a spinning top

a tuning fork struck on a rubber block

an apple falling from a tree

The correct answer is:

An apple falling from a tree is transitional kinetic energy

Explanation:

The energy of motion of a body, according to the work it would do if it were produced to rest. The translational kinetic energy depends on motion through space, and for a determined body of regular mass is equal to the output of half the mass times the intersection of the speed. and translational (the energy due to a motion from one position to another.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
