Answer:

1.4719 m per sec

Explanation:

Hello

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the movement of objects. Although there are many forms of kinetic energy  

the formula to use is

E=\frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where m is the mass of the object and v the velocity

lets see the kinetic energy of the sprinter running

E=\frac{65 Kg*10(\frac{m}{s} ^)){2} }{2} \\\\E=\frac{65 *100 }{2} \\E=3250 Joules\\\\

Now, the elephant must have the same kinetic energy

E=\frac{m*v_{2} ^{2} }{2} \\\\E*2=m*v_{2} ^{2}\\ \frac{2E}{m} =v_{2} ^{2} \\\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } =v_{2}  \\\\\\v_{2} =\sqrt{\frac{2*3250}{3000} }\\ \\v_{2} =1.4719 \frac{m}{s} \\\\

it works only the positive root, so the elephant must to  walk  to 1.4719 m/s to have the same kinetic energy.

Have a great day

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.
Pepsi [2]
1) The correct answer is
<span>C) The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
In solids, in fact, particles are bound together so they cannot move freely. However, they can move around their fixed position with small vibrational movements, whose intensity depends on the temperature of the substance (the higher the temperature, the more intense the vibrations). For this reason, we say that matter moves also in solid state.

2)  The correct answer is
</span><span>A) increase the concentration of both solutions
In fact, when we increase the concentration of both solutions, we increase the number of particles that react in both solutions; as a result, the speed of the reaction will increase.

3)  The correct answer is
</span><span>C) gas → liquid → solid
In gases, in fact, particles are basically free to move, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are almost negligible. In liquids, particles are still able to move, however the intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger than in gases. Finally, in solids, particles are bound together, so they are not free to move and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very strong. </span>

Fission and fusion reactions both involve making changes to an atom's _____.
spayn [35]

Option (A) is correct. Fission and fusion reactions both involve making changes to an atom's nuclei.

Nuclear fission is a process in which a bigger nucleus breaks into two or more smaller nuclei with the liberation of large amount of energy.

Nuclear fusion is a process in which two smaller nuclei fuse together to form a bigger nucleus. A tremendous amount of energy is released during fusion.

Thus both fission and fusion involve the changes in the nuclei of atoms. Rest of the atom like the electronic configuration etc remains same.
