Answer:

7.59 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J).

Mathematically, kinetic energy is represented as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the question,

Kinetic energy of the rabbit = Kinetic energy of the setter

1/2m₁v₁² = 1/2m₂v₂².......................... equation 2

Where m₁ = mass of the rabbit, v₁ = velocity of the rabbit, m₂ = mass of the setter, v₂ = velocity of the setter.

making v₁ the subject of the equation

v₁ = v₂√(m₂/m₁)............................ Equation 3

Given: m₁ = 5.0 kg, m₂ = 12.0 kg, v₂ = 4.9 m/s.

Substituting into equation 3

v₁ = 4.9√(12/5)

v₁  = 4.9√2.4

v₁ = 4.9×1.549

v₁ = 7.59 m/s

Thus the rabbit is 7.59 m/s fast

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.

a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{50g}

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

\frac{100g}{2}=50g
