Answer:

the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the spring is k.

For clown A:

m = 40 kg

let the extension in the spring is y.

So, the spring force, F = k y

m g = k y

40 x g = k x y

y = 40 x g / k      ..... (1)

For clown B:

m' = 60 kg

Let the extension in the spring is y'.

So, the spring force, F' = k y'

m' g = k y'

y' = 60 x g / k      .....(2)  

Kinetic energy for A, K = 1/2 ky^2

Kinetic energy for B, K' = 1/2 ky'^2

So, K/K' = y^2/y'^2 K / K' = (40 x 40) / (60 x 60)     (from equation (1) and (2))

K / K' = 0.444

K = 0.444 K'

So the kinetic energy of clown A is 0.444 times the kinetic energy of clown B.

What does atomic spectrum mean?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The range of characteristic frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that are readily absorbed and emitted by an atom. The atomic spectrum is an effect of the quantized orbits of electrons around the atom

Additional Facts:

  • Atomic spectra can also be analyzed to determine the composition of objects
  • The frequency depends on the difference in energy between the orbitals. Explaining this phenomenon was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics
  • Occurs due to the fact are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic number

10. How much U.S. oil demand is represented by the large oil tanker?
dexar [7]
Base on my research, as of 2004 The U.S. devours about 20 million barrels of oil a day, according to the CIA. But base on Wikipedia, it says that a normal large tanker can only carry around 2 million barrels of oil. So to supply the U.S with this oil per day, it needs 10 normal large oil tankers.
