Answer:
262.5 Joules
Explanation:
You find the kinetic energy of multiplying half of the mass by the velocity. In this word problem it tells you the mass so you divide it by 2. That answer is 2.625, you then multiply that by the velocity, in this instance it's 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h.
The unit in kinetic energy is Joules. This is actually a really important part in chemistry and physics.
Before the bullet is fired the momentum is Zero because nothing is moving but once the bullet is shot the momentum increases because of the movement of the bullet moving forward.
To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons.
The law of conservation of mass dictates that the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus:
mass(MgO) = mass(Mg) + mass(O)
mass(MgO) = 24 + 16
mass(MgO) = 40 g
The third option is correct.
