The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where:
m = mass
v = speed

Given this formula, the original KE of the scooter is calculated as 392 J. Since the speed is doubled, it can be observed in the formula that the change would actually affect the kinetic energy by quadrupling it. This is because 2^2 is 4. So, 392(4) = 1568 J or B.

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth? A. 8 earth minutes B. 16 earth minutes C.
Hunter-Best [27]
Hey there,

Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?

It take just about (</span>8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>FAST it would take.

Hope this helps.

If this decay has half-life of 2 years, how many years would it take for 10.8 g Protactinium-231 to remain given an initial mass
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Time = 6 years

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the no. of half life periods required to reduce the mass of Protactinium to the given value:

m' = \frac{m}{2^{n} } \\\\2^n = \frac{m}{m'}

where,

n = no. of half-life periods = ?

m = initial mass = 86.3 g

m' = remaining mass = 10.8 g

Therefore,

2^n = \frac{86.3\ g}{10.8\ g}\\\\2^n = 8\\2^n = 2^3

Since the bases are the same. Therefore equating powers:

n = 3

Now we calculate the time:

Time = (n)(Half-Life)\\Time =(3)(2\ years)

<u>Time = 6 years</u>
