Answer:

A baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an object has because of its motion. In this example, a baseball that is flying through the air would have kinetic energy because of this movement. In order to move this object, a force needs to be applied to it. In order for us to know the kinetic energy of an object, we have to look at both the mass and the speed. In this case, this ball would have the greatest kinetic energy because it has the greatest speed.

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

Answer: On the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

Explanation:

Yellow light, Fm radio wave, Green light ,X-ray, AM radio wave and Infrared wave are all electromagnetic waves, and all electromagnetic waves move at the same vacuum speed which is the speed of light and is approximately 3.0x10^8 m/s.

They only differ in wavelength and frequency

c = λf

c (speed of light) = λ (wavelength) x f (frequency)

Therefore; on the basis of speed they are all equivalent.

Yellow light = Fm radio wave = Green light = X-ray = AM radio wave = Infrared wave

If 34.7 g of O2 reacts with iron to form 79.34 g of iron oxide, how much iron was used in the reaction?

zhuklara [117]

Answer: B. 44.64 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Mass of reactants = mass of iron + mass of oxygen = mass of iron + 34.7 g

Mass of product = mass of iron oxide = 79.34 g

As Mass of reactants = Mass of product

mass of iron + 34.7 g = 79.34 g

mass of iron = 44.64 g

Thus 44.64 g of iron was used in the reaction

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$
