Compare the KE of an 80 kg person walking at 4 m/s with that of the same person moving at 6 m/s.

Physics

Alla [95]3 years ago

The correct answer is:
<span>KE at 4 m/s less than KE at 6 m/s

In fact, the formula for the kinetic energy is:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2
<span>where m is the mass of the person and v his speed.

When the person is moving at 4 m/s, his kinetic energy is:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2} (80 kg)(4 m/s)^2=640 J
instead, when he's moving at 6 m/s, his kinetic energy is:
K= \frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(6 m/s)^2=1440 J

So, the kinetic energy at 4 m/s is less than the kinetic energy at 6 m/s.

15 The group of elements called the noble gases
kogti [31]

Answer:

C. a full outer shell of valence electrons.

Explanation:

The noble gases has a full outer shell so they don't have to react with other elements to gain or loose electrons (to have a full outer shell and be stable).

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>

Cloudy nights are usually warm because​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.

Why do scientist use models to study atoms
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Scientists use models to study atoms, Because atoms are very tiny, and almost impossible to cut open and look inside.. And the center of an atom is the nucleus and that is ever smaller.
