If they are identical, then their masses are the same. The speeds are the same. KE has no direction.
Total KE = 1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 mv^2 = mv^2

Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?
Firlakuza [10]
Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave
Nesterboy [21]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>
