Ke = (1/2)mv²
m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s
Ke = (1/2)*100*10000
Ke = 500000 Joules
Seismic waves are waves generated by Earthquakes.
Answer:
581 kJ, work was done by the system
Explanation:
According to the first law of thermodynamics:

where
is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)
W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)
In this problem,


Therefore the work done by the system is

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.
a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000
b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50
c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000
d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5
We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.
