As you learned, kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. Call the velocity of object 1 v. Then, object 2 travels at 2v. The kinetic energy is object 1 is then 1/2mv^2 and that of object 2 is 1/2m(2v)^2=4(1/2mv^2). Therefore, the kinetic energy os the faster object is  times that of the slower one.

The greater the speed of two identical masses, the greater the kinetic energy.  So, the mass that is traveling twice as fast as the other has much more kinetic energy.  The formula for kinetic energy is KE=m*v^2 (kinetic energy equals mass times velocity squared), and velocity is the same as speed in this case because it is squared.  So, the mass traveling twice as fast has 4 times the kinetic energy, because 2 squared=2*2=4.

Answer: The mass traveling twice as fast has four times the kinetic energy.

Match the appropriate food item with the indicator chemical you would use to detect the principal organic molecule present in th
Valentin [98]

Answer:

raspberry jam -  benedict's solution

honey -  benedict's solution

ground turkey - biuret reagent

oatmeal - iodine

Explanation:

Benedict's test is a test used to confirm simple carbohydrates. it helps in identifying reducing sugars that have free ketone or aldehyde functional groups. Raspberry jam has mainly carbohydrates that can be tested by this indicator.

An iodine test is for the determination of starch which is a non-reducing sugar such as oatmeal

Sudan IV (C24H20N4O) is used for the presence of staining of lipids, triglycerides and lipoproteins. There is no food item given that has a proper amount of fat or lipid

Beuret reagent is a protein testing reagent that shows the presence of the protein. Ground turkey has a huge amount of protein that can be indicated by this

kobusy [5.1K]

Which of the following types of reactions would decrease the entropy within a cell?

Answer is : Option A : anabolic reactions

The general meaning of entropy can be termed as the systems that naturally progress from order to disorder. Anabolic reactions contains all the metabolic processes that build bio-molecules.

Explain How does the gradient of a river affect<br> its flow?
djverab [1.8K]

Explanation:

The flow of the river is dependent upon the position along the stream in terms of the gradient. Near the top of a high gradient, the flow will be less than that near the bottom. Likewise, the steeper the river's gradient, the faster the flow of water (due to the pull of water down the gradient by gravity).
