How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

60 mph?

Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u =  6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

A guyot is ________. A. any portion of the ocean floor that is topographically higher than surrounding sea floor B. an extinct o
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is  T_2 = 39^o C

Explanation:

From the question we are given

    T_1 =  98 F

  T_2 =  39^oC

  T_3 =  303 \  K

Generally converting T_3 to  Fahrenheit

    T_3' =  (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' =  (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_3' = 86 F

Converting  T_2 to  Fahrenheit

      T_2' =  T_2 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =  39 * \frac{9}{5}  + 32

=> T_2' =102.2 F  

Now comparing  the temperature  in Fahrenheit we see that T_2  is the hottest
