Answer:velocity=93.12m/s

Explanation:

We shall use conservation of energy to solve this problem

we have

Potential energy of King Kong at top of building = His kinetic energy at the bottom

Potential energy of an object = m\times g\times h = 20000 kg

Where m is mass of an object(20000 kg)

g is accleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^{2}

h is the height above the surface of earth = 1450 feet = 441.96 meters

Applying values we get

(P.E)_{TOP}=(20000\times 9.81\times 441.96) Joules\\\\(P.E)_{TOP}= 86712.552KiloJoules......................(i)

Now Kinetic energy is given by

(K.E)_{Bottom}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}.......................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

86712.552 =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}

Applying values we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 86712.552\times 10^{3}}{20\times 10^{3}}}\\\\v= 93.12m/s

Which are true of alpha radiation?
goldenfox [79]
I think the answer is just Option C, cause Alpha radiation has an atomic mass unit (amu) of 4, since alpha radiation is just a helium nucleus.

guapka [62]

Answer:

The forces acting on the pen which is still on the table can have two forces acting on them.  The forces are gravitational force and the equal and opposite force to the gravitational forces.

The equal and opposite forces that is applied on the pen keeps the pen still on the table.

So, the statement that no force is applied on the pen which is kept still on the table is wrong as two forces are applied on the pen.

As both the forces are equal and opposite so it is cancelled and is still.

Does melting change substances into other substances?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Yes, I think

Explanation:

Melting is a process that causes a substance to change from a solid to a liquid. Melting occurs when the molecules of a solid speed up enough that the motion overcomes the attractions so that the molecules can move past each other as a liquid.
