Answer:

Explanation:

1)Solution,

Distance(s)=30m

Time taken(t)=11s

Now,

Average velocity=s/t=30m/11s=2.72m/s

2)Solution,

Distance(s)=20km=20x1000m=20000m

Time(t)=9:30-8:30=1:30=60+30 min=90min=90x60=5400s

Now,

Average velocity=s/t=20000m/5400s=3.7m/s

How do you find the speed of an object given its mass and kinetic energy (what is the formula)?
madam [21]
   v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"] ; 
        
and solve for "v".

______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
The formula is:  KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;
_____________________________________
  
"Kinetic energy" = (½) * (mass) * (velocity , "squared")
________________________________________________
Note:  Velocity is similar to speed, in that velocity means "speed and direction";  however, if you "square" a negative number, you will get a "positive"; since:  a "negative" multiplied by a "negative" equals a "positive".
____________________________________________
So, we have the formula:
___________________________________
KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  to solve for "(v)" ; velocity, which is very similar to                                          the "speed"; 
___________________________________________________
we arrange the formula ;
__________________________________________________
(KE) = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  ↔  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE) ; 
___________________________________________________

→ We have:  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE)  ; we isolate, "m" (mass) on one side of the equation:
______________________________________________________
   
→ We divide each side of the equation by: "[(½)* (m)]" ; 
___________________________________________________
    
           →   [ (½)*(m)*(v²) ] /  [(½)* (m)]  = (KE) / [(½)* (m)]<span> ;
</span>______________________________________________________
 to get: 
______________________________________________________
                           →   v²     =   (KE) / [(½)* (m)]
                     
                           →   v²     = 2 KE / m
_______________________________________________________
Take the "square root" of each side of the equation ;
_______________________________________________________
                          →  √ (v²)  =  √ { 2*(KE) ] / m }
________________________________________________________

                          →     v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"]; 
       
and solve for "v".

300 grams of ethanol is heated with 14640 Joules of energy to reach a final temperature of 30 °C. What was the initial temperatu
levacccp [35]

Answer:

10 °C

Explanation:

Applying

q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 2

Where q = heat energy, c = specific heat of ethanol, m = mass of ethanol, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

Given: c = 2.44 J/g.°C,  m = 300 g, q = 14640 J, t₂ = 30°C

Substitute into equation 2 and solve for t₁

14640 = 2.44×300(30-t₁)

14640 = 732(30-t₁)

732(30-t₁) = 14640

(30-t₁)  = 14640/732

(30-t₁)  = 20

t₁ = 30-20

t₁ = 10 °C

What scientists do that is the basis of their investigations

<span>The "scientific method" consists of forming a hypothesis (a statement about what the researchers think is true), collecting data that might confirm or refute the hypothesis, and then examining the data to see how well or poorly they support the original hypothesis.</span>

When waves travel through water, why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position??
Law Incorporation [45]
Waves transfer energy not matter. so simply put, the water doesn't move. it's just being used as a road that energy uses to get from point a to b. it's easier to think of some thing on the water rather than the water it self. like a cork floating on the surface. when a wave passes through the cork. the cork goes up to the peak of the wave and then down to the trough of the wave and then back at equilibrium. it only moved up and down since it was following the wave pattern. if the waves transfered matter as well as energy then the cork would begin to get pushed by the wave and move towards the direction of travel
