Kinetic energy is energy that is in motion, thats all I remember

Mechanical energy is a form of energy, it represents the energy that is possessed by a mechanical system of device due to its motion or position. Stated differently, mechanical energy is the ability of an object to do work. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic (energy in motion) or potential (energy that is stored)

Need help ASAP!!!! here are the options: Amplitude, Compression, Rarefaction, and Wavelength

Strike441 [17]

Amplitude is the pair of vertical buttons, so to speak. Compressions are the bunched up vertical lines with the purple arrows pointing left and right. Rarefactions are purple arrows pointing down. Wavelength is crest to crest purple buttons. Associated LH and RH pointing arrows.

dem82 [27]

Answer: final Velocity v = 10.2m/s

Explanation:

Final speed v(t) is given as

v(t) = u + at .......1

Where; u = the initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time taken

The total distance travelled d is given as

d = ut + 1/2(at^2)

Given

d = 5.0m

u = 2.0m

a = g = 10m/s2 (acceleration due to gravity)

Substituting into the equation above we have

5 = 2t + 5t^2

5t^2 +2t -5 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula. We have;

t = 0.82s & t = -1.22s

t cannot be negative

t = 0.82s

From equation 1 above

v = 2.0m/s + 10(0.82)m/s

v = 10.2m/s

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$

Select all that apply. Which of the following are characteristics of acids? contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution ta

julia-pushkina [17]

These are the characteristics that apply:

- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
