Answer: Hello there! The standard unit of work in the metric system, the joule, is named after the James Prescott Joule (1819 -1889), where a joule is $j = \frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }$ . He was a physicist who did a lot of work with thermodynamics, for example, he worked on the Joule-Thomson effect.

A car is traveling with a velocity of 5.5 m/s and has a mass of 1200 kg. What is the kinetic energy?!

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the Mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 1200 \times {5.5}^{2} \\ = 600 \times 30.25$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

20 cm long 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick as a mass of 500 g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by block on the flat

uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal

A 790kg car moving at 7 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 20 m. Determined the net force (in Newton’s) acting up

prisoha [69]

1935.5 N is the "net force" acting on a car.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of the car is 790 kg.

Velocity of the car is 7 m/s. (v)

It turned around with 20 m. (r)

We know that, Net force = m × a

$\text { Here, acceleration of the car is radial acceleration } a_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{7^{2}}{20}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{49}{20}$

$a_{\text {rad }}=2.45 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Now, Net force = m × a

Net force = 790 × 2.45

Net force = 1935.5 N

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?

prohojiy [21]

You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).
