Answer: 2.25 J

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

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

m= mass of object= 20 g = 0.02 kg     (1 kg= 1000 g)

v= velocity of object= 15 m/s

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.02\times 15^2=2.25kgm^2s^{-2}=2.25J

(1J=1kgm^2s^{-2})

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

                           (1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =

                                 (0.01)  x  (225)  =  2.25 joules

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

AleksAgata [21]
The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s
