<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>

The formula agNo3 represents q compound made of which atoms?
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation :

AgNO_3 is silver nitrate. In this compound, one atom of silver, one atom of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen are present.

We know from the concept of mole concept that the number of molecules, atoms or ions present in a substance is known as one mole.

The number of particles in one mole of a substance is defined as Avogadro's number.

So, we can say that silver, nitrogen and oxygen are present in AgNO_3.

A people-moving conveyor-belt moves a 600-newton person a distance of 100 meters through the airport.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
In a), no work is done to move horizontally 'across" gravity. In b), he does (m) (g) (h) = (100)(9.8)(1) = 980 joules of work to lift the bag, and then no more work is done by the belt to move both of them horizontally.

a person whose mass is 72 kg has a momentum of 700 kg/m/s (E) .What velocity must this person be travelling at?(2 sig figs)
liberstina [14]
From the information given, the mass of the moving body, which in this case is a person, is 72 kg and the momentum 700 kg m/s. we use the formula p = m × v. Where p is momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need v so we rewrite the equation thus: v = p/m In our case p = 700 and m = 72 v = p/m → v = 700/ 72 → v = 9.72 Therefore the person is travelling at 9.72 m/s
