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.

Earth's lithospheric plates interact at____.

earnstyle [38]

Explanation:

Tectonic plate interactions are classified into three basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

Speed=100m/sec<br> Frequency=10 Hz<br> Wavelength=?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Wavelength = 10 m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 m $s^{-1}$

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 $s^{-1}$

To find : Wavelength = ?

We know that the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v is given by the equation

v = fλ

Therefore wavelength λ = v/f

= 100 m $s^{-1}$ / 10 m $s^{-1}$

= 10 m

Hence wavelength = 10 m

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$

we know that

$U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}$

$U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}$

now from above formula

$W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}$

$W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}$

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude

Write this large number in scientific notation. Determine the values of Vm) and (n) when the following mass of the Earth is writ

hichkok12 [17]

Answer : The answer is, 5.97, 24

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as $5.0\times 10^3$

889.9 is written as $8.899\times 10^{-2}$

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and $5.0\times 10^3$ and $8.899\times 10^{-2}$ are written in the scientific notation.

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

As we are given the 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in standard notation.

Now converting this into scientific notation, we get:

$\Rightarrow 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000=5.97\times 10^{24}$

As, the decimal point is shifting to left side, thus the power of 10 is positive.

Hence, the answer is, $5.97\times 10^{24}$

Now the answer is comparing to $m.\times 10^n$

So, m = 5.97 and n = 24

Thus, the answer is, 5.97, 24
