Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?

Andru [333]

First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
$N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26}$ protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a single proton:
$Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C$

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a linear function of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

$m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m=5.7$ is the slope of the line

$Y_{1}=2390.7pounds$ is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

$X_{1}=51gallons$ is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)
