<span>The mass of Avogadro's number of Carbon-12 atoms, which exactly equals 12.000</span>
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

AMU stands for atomic mass unit. It is used to define the mass of an atom.

1 amu is defined as the mas of one twelfth of the mass of one carbon - 12 atom.

1 amu = mass of 1/12 of one carbon 12 atom

It is said to be that 1 amu is the average mass of one proton and one neutron.

Elmer Fudd is walking at 2.0 m/s. If he walks for 2.0 minutes, how far does he walk?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

240 meters

Explanation:

He is walking 2 meters per second, and there are 60 seconds per minute. There are 120 seconds in two minutes. So, 120 x 2 = 240. That's your answer!

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced
Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

p=mv (2)

From eq.(1) we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

and substituting into (2),

p=\sqrt{2mK}

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

K' = 8K

- The mass is reduced by half:

m'=\frac{m}{2}

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.

If a box of supplies is dropped from the cargo hold of an airplane travelling at an altitude of 4,410 meters how long will it ta
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It will take 30 seconds to reach the ground, and it will be travelling at 294 m/s when it does so. This means that its average velocity was 147 m/s.

Explanation:

d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Since the initial velocity of a dropped object is 0, we can make this the equation:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\4410=\dfac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \\\\t^2=900

t=30\text{ seconds}

The final velocity can be calculated with the formula:

v_f=v_o+at

Once again, since there is no initial velocity:

v_f=at \\\\v_f=(9.8)(30)=294m/s

Since the initial velocity is 0, the average vertical velocity is 294/2=147 m/s.

Hope this helps!

A certain electric furnace consumes 24 kw when it is connected to a 240-v line. what is the resistance of the furnace?
weeeeeb [17]

One very handy electrical formula is

Power dissipated by a resistance = (Voltage)²/(resistance) .

24 kilowatts = (240 v)² / Resistance

Multiply each side by (Resistance):

(Resistance) x (24 kilowatts) = (240 v)²

Divide each side by (24 kilowatts):

Resistance = (240 v)² / (24,000 watts)

Resistance = (57,600 / 24,000) (volt² / volt · Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 (volt/Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 Ohms
