**Title: Ranking Objects by Kinetic Energy****Objective:**Rank the following items in order of increasing (low to high) kinetic energy. Provide an explanation for the ranking.**Data for Each Object:**- **Object A**: - Velocity (\(v\)) = 2 m/s - Mass (\(m\)) = 10 kg- **Object B**: - Velocity (\(v\)) = 0 m/s - Mass (\(m\)) = 20 kg- **Object C**: - Velocity (\(v\)) = 4 m/s - Mass (\(m\)) = 5 kg- **Object D**: - Velocity (\(v\)) = 3 m/s - Mass (\(m\)) = 8 kg**Explanation:**The kinetic energy (\(KE\)) of an object is calculated using the formula:\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]**Calculation:**1. **Object A:** \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \, kg \times (2 \, m/s)^2 = 20 \, J \]2. **Object B:** \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \, kg \times (0 \, m/s)^2 = 0 \, J \]3. **Object C:** \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \, kg \times (4 \, m/s)^2 = 40 \, J \]4. **Object D:** \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \, kg \times (3 \, m/s)^2 = 36 \, J \]**Ranking by Increasing Kinetic Energy:**1. Object B: 0 J2. Object A: 20 J3. Object D: 36 J4. Object C: 40 J**Conclusion:**By comparing the calculated kinetic energies, the order from lowest to highest is Object B, Object A, Object D, and Object C.

Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown in Figure P9.25. The monument is made from tens of thousands of small stone blocks of density 3 800 kg/m3. The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an objectEarth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.

Using values from Table 8.1, how many DNA molecules could be broken by the energy carried by a single electron in the beam of an old-fashioned TV tube? (These electrons were not dangerous in themselves, but they did create dangerous X-rays. Later-model tube TVs had shielding that absorbed X-rays before they escaped and exposed viewers.)
Choose the correct answer. The gravitational potential energy of a system (a) is always positive (b) is always negative (c) can be negative or positive
