Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

Hope it helpz~ uh..

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

BabaBlast [244]

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.

What force is required to accelerate a body with a mass of 15 kilograms at a rate of 8 m/s²?

mihalych1998 [28]

Newton's Second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (15kg) x (8m/s²) = 120 kg-m/s² = 120 newtons

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p

Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A , n 1 = 4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B , n 2 = 3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A , K A = 9500 J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B , Δ K = 600 J

Gas constant R = 8.314 J / molK

Let K B be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the

Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.

Option: B

<u>Explanation</u>:

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is $\mu\times N$

Where, $\mu$ is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.
