Answer: 2 J

Explanation: Kinetic energy is possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion. A body gains kinetic energy when some work is done on it.

W = Δ K.E.

We know that work is said to be done on a body when a force causes displacement of the body.

W = F.s

It is given that net force on the toy, F = 2.0 N which displaces the toy by, s = 1.0 m.

Hence, work done on the toy, W = 2.0 N × 1.0 m = 2 J which is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the toy.

Answer:

2.0 J

Explanation:

Since the surface is frictionless, we can solve the problem by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on the toy is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the toy:

W=\Delta E_k

where

W is the work done on the toy

\Delta E_k is the kinetic energy gained by the toy

The work done can be calculated as the product between the force applied on the toy and its displacement, so:

W=Fd=(2.0 N)(1.0 m)=2.0 J

Therefore, according to the work-energy theorem, the toy has gained 2.0 J of kinetic energy.

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is ^{0}_{0}\gamma. Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, ^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.

A train moving west with an initial velocity of 20 m/s accelerates at 4 m/s' for 10 secon
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Distance of 400m.

Explanation:

Use your kinematics equation to solve for distance (we can use kinematics b/c acceleration is constant).

d = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2 at^2

d = (20 x 10) + 1/2 (4) (10)^2

d = 200 + 200

d = 400 m

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE
