Considering the definition of kinetic energy, the bullet has a kinetic energy of 156.25 J.

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass and in a rest position, until it reaches a given speed. Once this point is reached, the amount of accumulated kinetic energy will remain the same unless there is a change in speed or the body returns to its rest state by applying a force to it.

The kinetic energy is represented by the following expression:

Ec= ½ mv²

Where:

Ec is the kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J).
m is the mass measured in kilograms (kg).
v is the speed measured in meters over seconds (m/s).

<h3>Kinetic energy of a bullet</h3>

In this case, you know:

m= 0.500 kg
v= 25 m/s

Replacing in the definition of kinetic energy:

Ec= ½ ×0.500 kg× (25 m/s)²

Solving:

Finally, the bullet has a kinetic energy of 156.25 J.

A woman on a bridge 82.2 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an a

solong [7]

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = (4.9 m/s²)t²

t² = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

Two vehicles, a car and a truck, leave an intersection at the same time. the car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles pe

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per hour from the intersection point towards South.

The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is $50t$ .

The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is $60t$ .

Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d (in miles) at the end of t hours is

$d=\sqrt{(50t)^2+(60t)^2} \\ d=10\sqrt{61} t\\ d=78.1t$

Thus the distance apart is $d=78.1t \;miles$

What is the difference between sodium atom and a sodium ion

ludmilkaskok [199]

Pretty much any element(in your case sodium) contain these properties.

Atoms can be an ion, but not all ions are atoms. The difference between an atom and an ion has to do with net electrical charge. An ion is a particle or collection of particles with a net positive or negative charge. ... A stable atom contains the same number of electrons as protons and no net charge

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H

Nikolay [14]

Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values,
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!
