Answer:

30000 J = 30 kJ

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object solely due to its motion.

You can get the K.E. of an object using the equation,

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

So you get,

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} 600×10^{2}$

= 30000 J = 30 kJ

Two small plastic spheres each have a mass of 1.2 g and a charge of -56.0 nC . They are placed 3.0 cm apart (center to center).

butalik [34]

Answer:

F_e = +/- 0.013133 N

Explanation:

Given:

- charge on each sphere q = -56 nC

- separation of spheres r = 3.0 cm

- charge constant k = 8.99*10^9

Find:

- Magnitude of Electric Force F_e on each sphere.

Solution:

The magnitude of electric Force F_e of one sphere on other is:

F_e = k*q^2 / r^2

- Plugging the given values :

F_e = (8.99*10^9) * (56*10^-19)^2 / (0.03)^2

F_e = 0.013133 N

- An equal and opposite force is experienced on the other sphere. Hence, F_e = + / - 0.013133 N

How are scientists able to measure the age of earth?

RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

Through the uranium-lead dating, you can establish the age of rocks that formed from 1 million years ago to 4.5 billion years with enough precision. Dating meteorites using this method, It is possible to establish the age of the earth, since these are pieces that are present since the formation of the solar system, so they are approximately the same age as the Earth.

A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal for

nadezda [96]

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block ( $W$ ), measured in newtons, is:

$W = m\cdot g$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $m = 14\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

$N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$N = W = 137.298\,N$

And the pull force is:

$F_{pull} = 98\,N$

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

$m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f}$ (2)
