Answer:

-1.7534 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, p is a product of mass and velocity, expressed as p= mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity which is dependent on the direction. Taking left as negative and right as positive then the initial momentum will be

p=-2.42*3.92+(3.7*2.09)=-1.7534 Kg.m/s

The energy released during a nuclear reaction is a result of

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

the conversion of matter into energy

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is a reaction in which there is a change in the nuclei of the atoms involved. The two most important examples of nuclear reactions are:

- Nuclear fission: it occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

- Nuclear fusion: it occurs when two lighter nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei: this means that part of the mass of the initial nuclei has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's formula:

$E=\Delta m c^2$

where $\Delta m$ is the variation of mass and c is the speed of light. Since the value of c is very large, we can see from the formula that even a small amount of $\Delta m$ is able to produce a huge amount of energy, and this is a typical feature of any nuclear reaction.

An object with a mass of 0. 25 kg is undergoing simple harmonic motion at the end of a vertical spring with a spring constant, k

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1) The amplitude of the motion is approximately 0.274 meters.

2) The total energy of the object at any point of its motion is 16.892 joules.

Explanation:

1) An object under simple harmonic motion is conservative, since there is no dissipative forces acting during motion (i.e. friction, air viscosity). The amplitude of the motion can be found easily by Principle of Energy Conservation by the fact that maximum elastic potential energy ( $U_{e}$ ), in joules, is equal to maximum translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), in joules:

$U_{e} = K$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot A^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.

$A$ - Amplitude, in meters.

$m$ - Object mass, in kilograms.

$v$ - Speed of the object at equilibrium, in meters per second.

If we know that $k = 450\,\frac{N}{m}$ , $m = 0.25\,kg$ and $v = 0.3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the amplitude of the motion is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot A^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$k\cdot A^{2} = m\cdot v^{2}$

$A = v\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

$A = \left(0.3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.25\,kg}{0.3\,\frac{m}{s} } }$

$A \approx 0.274\,m$

The amplitude of the motion is approximately 0.274 meters.

2) The total energy of the object ( $E$ ), in joules, is found either by maximum elastic potential energy or by maximum translational kinetic energy, that is: ( $k = 450\,\frac{N}{m}$ , $A \approx 0.274\,m$ )

$E = U_{e}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot A^{2}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(450\,\frac{N}{m} \right) \cdot (0.274\,m)^{2}$

$E = 16.892\,J$

The total energy of the object at any point of its motion is 16.892 joules.

Which BMI standard for teens is considered under weight?

Lena [83]

First let’s pick one at random

Less than 5 percentile

That means they lined 100 kids up and less than 5% of them are that certain weight.

So if you apply this to every option you will see the answer is
A). Less than 5 percentile
