This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

  • K.E = Kinetic energy
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.

Inga [223]

Answer:

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Explanation:

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

m = mass = 10kg ; g = 9.8m/s² ; r = cross sectional Radius = 1cm = 1 * 10-2 m

Δl = mgl / πr²Y

Y = Youngs modulus = Y=3.5 ×10^10 ; l = Length = 1m

Δl = (10 * 9.8 * 1) / π * (1 * 10^-2)²* 3.5 ×10^10

Δl = 98 / 3.5 * π * 10^6

Δl = 0.00000891267

Energy stored :

mgΔl / 2

(10 * 9.8 * 0.00000891267) / 2

= 0.00043672083 J

4.37 * 10^-4 J

Peter is a middle-aged, overweight man who is trying to decrease his body circumference. How could the serving size on a nutriti
gregori [183]
One simple way to losing weight is by calorie counting. Peter can go to his nutritionist and learn just how much calories he can have as intake per day to lose weight. The nutrition label on any food item lists the calories and their serving sizes. This can be used to keep track of how much calories Peter has taken each day, so as to not go over his daily limit.

Find the intensity of a 55 dB sound given I 0=10^-12W/m^2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

β(dB)=10 × log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{0} })

I_{0}=10^{-12} W/m^{2}

β=55 dB

Therefore plugging into the equation the values,

55=10 log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

5.5= log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

10^{5.5}= \frac{I}{10^{-12} }

316227.76×10^{-12}= I

I= 3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}
