Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Dog:
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (16 m/s)² = (10kg) (256 m²/s²) = 2,560 joules

Bear:
KE = (1/2) (923 kg) (2.5 m/s)² = (461.5kg) (6.25 m²/s²) = 2,884.4 joules

==> The bear has 12.7% more kinetic energy than the dog has.

He will also have more stored food energy than the dog,
especially after he catches and eats the dog.

A charge Q is transferred from an initially uncharged plastic ball to an identical ball 17 cm away. The force of attraction is t
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2.92 x 10¹² electrons

Explanation:

given,

distance between two plastic ball, r = 17 cm

                                      r = 0.17 m

Force of attraction = F = 68 mN

                F = 0.068 N

number of electron transferred from one ball to another.

using Coulomb Force equation

F = \dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

0.068 = \dfrac{9\times 10^9\times q^2}{0.17^2}

q² = 2.1835 x 10⁻¹³

q = 4.67 x 10⁻⁷ C

now, number of electron

 N = \dfrac{q}{e}

e is the charge of electron which is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

  N = \dfrac{4.67\times 10^{-7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

       N = 2.92 x 10¹² electrons

electrons were transferred from one ball to the other is 2.92 x 10¹²

How do you think speed affects car and driver safety?
blondinia [14]
An increase in average speed of 1 km/h typi- cally results in a 3% higher risk of a crash involving injury, with a 4–5% increase for crashes that result in fatalities. — Speed also contributes to the severity of the impact when a collision does occur. Hope this helps!
