Formulae for Kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy= 1/2xmassx(velocity)^2

For comparison we need to have same units,thus we convert 10g into Kg.
10g/1000=0.01Kg

Input the value of bullet in the formulae;
Kinetic Energy= 1/2x0.01kgx(400)^2
K.E=800J

Input value of the ball:
Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx(6.5)^2
K.E=1690J

Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be
miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s         (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}. We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m

So we have:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

If a sled has a mass of 4kg what is the force of gravity on the sled?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity pulls everything down at the same rate of 9.8 m/s/s. If you're looking for the normal force, which is the same as the weight of the object, we'll find that, just in case.

w = mg which says that the normal force/weight of an object is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity:

w = 4.0(9.8) so

w = 39N

A student measures the mass 8cm block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar.
antoniya [11.8K]

Correction

A student measures the mass <em><u>8cm3</u></em> block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

1.6\ g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as \rho=\frac {m}{v} where \rho is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be

\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}
