Question 2 of 5:

Which of the following is NOT a form of carbon?

A ferrite is a type of ceramic compound composed of iron oxide (Fe2O3) combined chemically with one or more additional metallic elements. They are ferrimagnetic, meaning they can be magnetized or attracted to a magnet, and are electrically nonconductive, one of the few substances that combine these two properties. Ferrites can be divided into two families. 1) Hard ferrites: They are used to make magnets, for devices such as refrigerator magnets, loudspeakers, and small electric motors. 2) Soft ferrites: They are used in the electronics industry to make ferrite cores for inductors and transformers, and in various microwave components.

Question 3 of 5:

What energy emerges from motion?

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. In classical mechanics, the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling at a speed v is 1/2 m v2. The standard unit of kinetic energy is the joule, while the English unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.

The answer is- Kinetic energy
