Q:

What is another name for energy of motion?

A) Motional energy B) Potential energy
C) Kinetic energy D) Rotational energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Every object has two typea of energies. They are ::

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

 

If the object is in motion, then it has Kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

 

Hence, another name for energy of motion is called Kinetic energy.

Q:

A series of fast moving still pictures can be made to appear as a moving picture because the eye 

A) can focus very rapidly as pictures change B) is quicker than the brain
C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second D) can shut out some of the light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second

Explanation:

The eye can see images separately only if they are exhibited at an interval of more than 1/10 of a second. In the case of a movie, the still pictures come one after the other at less than this minimum interval. So we do not see them separately but only as a continuous moving picture.
