The SI unit for kinetic energy is joules. Joules is measured in mass which is measured in kilograms.

The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and
   Work = (force) x (distance).

So energy is    (unit of force) x (unit of distance)

   [Energy] =   (Newton) (meter) .

'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
   (kilogram-meter/sec²) (meter)

   = kilogram-meter² / sec² .

That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
   Joule .

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.

And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.

Part A

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

a) b = -5

b) slope = 3/2

Explanation:

a) The equation of a line is given as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y = 3x + b and it passes through the point (2, 1). Hence when x = 2, y = 1. Therefore, substituting for x and y:

1 = 3(2) + b

1 = 6 + b

b = 1 - 6

b = -5

b) The equation of a line passing through two points ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and $x_2,y_2$ is given by:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The equation of the line passing through the two points (0,3) and (4,9) is:

$y-3=\frac{9-3}{4-0}(x-0)\\ \\y-3=\frac{3}{2}x\\ \\y = \frac{3}{2}x+3$

Comparing y = (3/2)x + 3 with y = mx + b, the slope (m) is 3/2

1. What is the name given to the total possibility of sound frequencies

exis [7]

Explanation:

1. The entire span of possible sound waves is called the acoustic spectrum. It is subdivided into infrasonic sounds, audible sounds, and ultrasonic sounds.

2. The difference between a musical note and another note at twice the frequency is called an octave.

3. Sound intensity varies with the inverse square of distance.

A parallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. After the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, t

Valentin [98]

Answer:

C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

C₁ = ∈A/d...............................(1)

If the distance between the plates is doubled

C₂ = ∈A/2d.............................(2a)

From equations (1) and (2), the relationship between C₁ and C₂ is:

C₂ = C₁/2....................................(2b)

The original Energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E₁ = Q²/2C₁...............................(3)

On doubling the separation between the capacitance plates

E₂ = Q²/2C₂...............................(4a)

E₂ = Q²/2 * 1/C₂........................(4b)

Putting equation (2b) into (4b)

E₂ = Q²/2 * 2/C₁

E₂ = Q²/C₁.....................................(5)

Comparing equations (3) and (5)

E₂ = 2E₁

Therefore, the energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value

What substances are acidic

Sedbober [7]

A substance with LOW pH. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity level is. pH has a direct effect on how acidic a substance is. For an example, battery acid. Battery acid has a pH level of about 1. This means that battery acid is very acidic. A substance is concidered acidic when it dips below the neutral pH level of 7.
