Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

Two bodies of mass m₁ & m₂ are moving with the same velocity 'v' K.E. will be greater for??
boyakko [2]

Answer:

the one with a higher mass

Explanation:

The body with more mass will have the greater kinetic energy of the two.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body. It is mathematically expressed as:

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Since the velocity of the two bodies are the same, and mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, the body with more mass will have a higher kinetic energy.

 So between mass m1 and mass m2, the one with a greater mass will have a higher kinetic energy

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.
