<h2>Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy , KE = 0.5mv²

Here car speeds up to four times the initial speed, we need to find ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy.

Final speed = 4 x Initial speed = 4v

Initial KE = 0.5mv²

Final KE = 0.5 x m x (4v)²

Final KE = 16 x 0.5 x m x v²

Final KE = 16 x Initial KE

Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.

Which is present when iodine changes from brown to blue or purple?
vladimir1956 [14]


If iodine is added to a starch solution, they react with each other and the iodine  darkens to an almost pitch black.

however, if iodine is added to a solution containing no starch, it will show up only as an extremely pale brown. almost colorless and hardly visible.

when following the changes in some inorganic oxidation reduction reactions, iodine may be used as an indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. soluble starch solution is added. only iodine element in the presence of iodide ion will give the characteristic blue black color. neither iodine element alone nor iodide ions alone will give the color result.

hope this answer really helps your question :)

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct responses. Choose all that apply. Choose all that apply. The tota
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
  • The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
  • According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________
Llana [10]

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

                     = \frac{8}3} m/s

                     = 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.
