F=m*(v^2/r)
F=50.0kg*(1.2m/s^2/16.0m)
F=4.5 N

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2m/s

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h2>14.52 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 7.26 \times {2}^{2} \\ = 2 \times 7.26$

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.52 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why are peer reviews important?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Peer reviews are important because individuals with similar background knowledge are used to review work to detect inaccuracies or deficiencies in the work.

Explanation:

Those individuals with similar educational and work background knowledge can more accurately review work since they have the required knowledge base for the subject.

The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard

gogolik [260]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

$|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|$

Our states are given by

$E_1 = -11.7eV$

$E_2 = -4.2eV$

$E_3 = -3.3eV$

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

$|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\$

$|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV$

$|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV$

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV

Which shows increasing entropy?

fomenos

Answer:

mowing a lawn

Explanation:

Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. As a body moves from a more ordered state to a less ordered one, the entropy of the system increases.

Mowing a lawn is a typical example of increasing entropy.
When a lawn is being mowed, the grasses becomes disordered without any fixed orientation.
Folding a clothe is trying to bring orderliness to the clothe patterning.
Washing dishes will make one arrange them in an ordered way.
Falling leaves brings leaves together.
