Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Mass = 100 kg
Speed = 10 km/s = 10,000 m/s
Speed squared = 100,000,000 m²/s²

1/2 (M)(V²) = 1/2 (100) (100,000,000) = 5,000,000,000 joules  (5 x 10⁹ J)

That's  5 billion joules.

That's the amount of energy a 100-watt light bulb uses in  579 days.

KE=1/2 x mass x speed^2
Substitute:

KE=1/2 x 100 x 10000^2
5000000000J of KE
So either <u>5 gigajoules</u>
Or <u>5x10^9J</u>

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.56 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s ?
postnew [5]

Answer:

K.E=?

Mass=7.56 kg

Velocity=2m/s

Solution::

K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E=0.5*7.56*(2)^2

K.E= 0.5*7.56*4

K.E=15.12 joules.

Is the following chemical equation balanced?<br><br> MgI2 + Br2 MgBr2 + I2 <br><br> yes<br><br> no
Brums [2.3K]

Yes

Explanation:

This chemical equation:

Mg I_2 + Br_2 \rightarrow Mg Br_2 + I_2

is balanced, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on the reactant side and on the product side. In fact:

- Mg: one atom on the left, one on the right

- I: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

- Br: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

So, the reaction is balanced.

Give name of any two devices used to measure the amount of matter contained in a container ​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Measuring cup and graduated cylinder

Explanation:

These tools measure the volume of liquid matter. Measuring cups are used frequently in cooking and provide measurements generally in ounces and grams. A graduated cylinder is used in laboratories and in research and allows for a greater degree of precision in measuring the volume.

What provides and has always provided most of Earth's energy for living things and technology?
Yakvenalex [24]
Hints:
The Earth's energy does not come from eating a balanced diet,
or from ninja turtles, or from getting sleep and exercise.
There are no hamsters running on a treadmill inside the Earth.
God didn't wind up a big spring to operate the Earth.

The Sun provides, and has always provided, almost all of the energy
used on Earth.  It was the energy that got stored in dead dinosaurs
to make gas and oil, and it's the energy that makes plants grow, and
gets stored in them so we can get the energy by eating the plants.
