   v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"] ; 
        
and solve for "v".

______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
The formula is:  KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;
_____________________________________
  
"Kinetic energy" = (½) * (mass) * (velocity , "squared")
________________________________________________
Note:  Velocity is similar to speed, in that velocity means "speed and direction";  however, if you "square" a negative number, you will get a "positive"; since:  a "negative" multiplied by a "negative" equals a "positive".
____________________________________________
So, we have the formula:
___________________________________
KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  to solve for "(v)" ; velocity, which is very similar to                                          the "speed"; 
___________________________________________________
we arrange the formula ;
__________________________________________________
(KE) = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  ↔  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE) ; 
___________________________________________________

→ We have:  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE)  ; we isolate, "m" (mass) on one side of the equation:
______________________________________________________
   
→ We divide each side of the equation by: "[(½)* (m)]" ; 
___________________________________________________
    
           →   [ (½)*(m)*(v²) ] /  [(½)* (m)]  = (KE) / [(½)* (m)]<span> ;
</span>______________________________________________________
 to get: 
______________________________________________________
                           →   v²     =   (KE) / [(½)* (m)]
                     
                           →   v²     = 2 KE / m
_______________________________________________________
Take the "square root" of each side of the equation ;
_______________________________________________________
                          →  √ (v²)  =  √ { 2*(KE) ] / m }
________________________________________________________

                          →     v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"]; 
       
and solve for "v".

A constant torque is applied to a rigid wheel whose moment of inertia is 2.0 kg · m2 around the axis of rotation. If the wheel s
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The applied torque is 3.84 N-m.      

Explanation:

Given that,

Moment of inertia of the wheel is 2\ kg-m^2

Initial speed of the wheel is 0 (at rest)

Final angular speed is 25 rad/s

Time, t = 13 s

The relation between moment of inertia and torque is given by :

\tau=I\alpha \\\\\tau=I\times \dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\tau=2\times \dfrac{25}{13}\\\\\tau=+3.84\ N-m

So, the applied torque is 3.84 N-m.

A parallel-plate capacitor has 2.10 cm × 2.10 cm electrodes with surface charge densities ±1.00×10-6 C/m2. A proton traveling pa
Darya [45]

Answer:

x=0.53x10^{-3} m

Explanation:

Using Gauss law the field is uniform so

E=ζ/ε

Charge densities ⇒ζ=1.x10x^{-6} \frac{C}{m^{2}}

ε=8.85x10^{-12} \frac{C^{2}}{n*m^{2}}

E=\frac{1x10^{-6}\frac{C}{m^{2}}}{8.85x^{-12}\frac{C^{2} }{N*m^{2}}} \\E=0.11299 x10^{-6} \frac{N}{C}

Force of charge is

F_{q}=q*E\\F_{q}=1.6x10^{-19}C*0.11299x10^{6}\frac{N}{C} \\F_{q}=1.807x10^{-14} N

F_{q}=m*a\\a=\frac{F_{q}}{m}=\frac{1.807x10^{-13}N}{1.67x10^{-27}}\\ a=1.082x0^{14} \frac{m}{s^{2}} \\t=\frac{x}{v}\\ x=2.1cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.021m \\v=6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s} \\ t=\frac{0.021m}{6.7x10^{6}\frac{m}{s}} \\t=3.13x10^{-9}s

So finally knowing the acceleration and the time the distance can be find using equation of uniform motion

x_{f}=x_{o}+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\ x_{o}=0\\x_{f}=\frac{1}{2} a*t^{2}=\frac{1}{2}*1.082x10^{14}\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(3.134x^{-9}s)^{2}  \\x_{f}=0.53x^{-3}m

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

I would think the answer is color, if the wavelength is within the visible light spectrum. This could be answered in different ways but I'm pretty sure the answer you are looking for is hue/color.

Which statements about a neutral atom are correct? Select all that apply. (1) A neutral atom is composed of both positively and
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(3) The electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus.

(4) Positively charged protons are located in the tiny, massive nucleus.

(6) The negatively charged electrons are spread out in a "cloud" around the nucleus.

Explanation:

An atom is the basic particle in which a matter is formed. It can either be charged or neutral. When it losses or gains an extra electron, it becomes charged, an ion. While a neutral atom is an atom which has no charge, because it has the same number of electrons and protons. The protons are located in the tiny massive nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are in orbits or cloud around the nucleus.
