Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.00 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.00 m/s. The balls have a glancin
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Velocity is 1.73 m/s along 54.65° south of east.

Explanation:

Let unknown velocity be v, mass of billiard ball be m and east direction be positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Initial momentum = m x 2i + m x (-1)i = m i

Final momentum = m x v + m x 1.41 j = mv + 1.41 m j

Comparing

mi = mv + 1.41 m j

v = i - 1.41 j

Magnitude of velocity

      v=\sqrt{1^2+(-1.41)^2}=1.73m/s        

Direction,  

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{-1.41}{1}\right )=-54.65^0             

Velocity is 1.73 m/s along 54.65° south of east.

Determine the binding energy of an F-19 nucleus. The F-19 nucleus has a mass of 18.99840325 amu. A proton has a mass of 1.00728
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Energy = 1.38*10^13 J/mol

Explanation:

Total number of proton in F-19 = 9

Total number of neutron in F-19 = 10

Expected Mass of F-19  

= 9*1.007 + 10*1.008 = 19.152 u

Actual  mass of F-19 = 18.998 u

Energy of one particle of F-19 = 931.5*Δm = 931.5*(19.152-18.998)

= 143.234 MeV

Energy of one mole of F-19 = 143.234*10^6*1.6*10^-19*6.022*10^23  

= 1.38*10^13 J/mol

The energy stored in oil come from the sun. Describe how energy from the sun became stored in oil
nirvana33 [79]

Crude oil has parts of decomposed dinosaurs and plants from millions of years ago. When the sun gave energy to the plants for their growth, the dinasours ate them which is now is stored in the oil today. So the sun gave energy to plants, dinosaurs ate them, pasted away and decomposed, then we drill and use it as oil.

What happens to atoms as you move across the periods on the periodic table?
Alex_Xolod [135]
As you move across a period, the atomic mass increases because the atomic number also increases. When the atomic number increases, this means that there are more protons and neutrons that add to the atomic mass of an atom
