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.

Which of the following can be related to heat flow and movement of molten rock within the interior of the Earth?
stiks02 [169]

The answer is; D

The plasticity of rock in the mantle and the convection currents in the region are responsible for tectonic plate movements. The hot molten rock from deep in the mantle rise and is replaced by the cooler rock at the upper mantle. These convections are similar to those of water in a boiling pot. As the tectonic plates move (as they are dragged by these convections) and collide, earthquakes are caused. In addition, at subductions zones (where two plates collide) there occurs high volcanic activity.

Nina [5.8K]
<span>This would be an example of a mutation, because the changing of allele frequencies would be a change within the gene itself, which would be a mutation in the DNA. This is evidenced by the fact that there is now a form of human resistance to malaria, due to changes within human DNA itself.</span>

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Autosomal dominant</em>

Explanation:

To interpret the inheritance, let us look at the pattern shown in the pedigree. The normal allele is recessive whereas the abnormal allele is dominant. This type of pedigree can be analyzed affected fathers and mothers transmit the phenotype to both sons and daughters. Hungtinton's diseases is an example of autosomal dominant disorder.
