<span>1.0x10^3 Joules
The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation
E = 0.5 M V^2
where
E = Energy
M = Mass
V = Velocity
Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion
E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2
E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 J
So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>
Answer:
d. perfectly elastic
Explanation:
According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:
1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.
2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.
3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.
Therefore the correct answer will be d.
d. perfectly elastic
When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
