Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is t

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}$

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

$\Delta$ is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12$

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

$\Delta v = Final \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity$

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

$\Delta v = Final \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4$

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

A 5kg object is moving at a height of 2 m. The potential energy of the object is closest to ___ j

elena55 [62]

Answer:

In this case, a body of mass 5 kg kept at a height of 10 m. So the potential energy is given as 5 * 10 *10 = 500 J.
