Answer: 40 Joules

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and speed of the object.

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

m= mass of canoe = 20 kg

v= speed of canoe = 2 m/s

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 20kg\times (2m/s)^2$

$K.E=40kgm^2s^-{2}=40Joules$

$(1kgm^2s^{-2}= 1Joule)$

Which statement is true regarding a chemical reaction?

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

B) The total number of atoms does not change, so mass is conserved in the reaction.

Explanation:

According to the <u><em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em></u>, no matter can ever be created or destroyed. The number of atoms does not change, thus the mass does not change.

A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet $m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2}$ kg

Height difference of pellet rise $h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03$ m

Spring compression $x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

$mg(h_{f} -h_{o}) = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

Where $k =$ spring constant, $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }$

$k = 266.01$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

A 65.0 kg ice skater standing on frictionless ice throws a 0.15 kg snowball horizontally at a speed of 32.0 m/s. What is the vel

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(d) 0.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data

Snowball mass m₁=0.15 kg

Ice skater mass m₂=65.0 kg

Snowball velocity v₁=32.0 m/s

To find

Velocity of Skater v₂=?

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}\\ v_{2}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{(0.15kg)(32.0m/s)}{65.0kg}\\ v_{2}=0.0738m/s\\or\\v_{2}=0.07 m/s$

So Option d is correct one

The metalcore is the central component of any metal that is covered by wires. Metalcore is found in the X denoted area.

<h3>What is a solenoid?</h3>

A solenoid is a coil of wire that conducts an electric current. A solenoid is an electromagnet made out of a wire or helical coil.

When an electric current is sent through the coil, it produces a magnetic field. A solenoid is a coil that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.

When a conductive wire is used to build a loop, a solenoid is formed.

Hence the metalcore is found in the given X area.
