Answer:

<em>They represent kinetic energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy

An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . How fast wil

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

vBxf = 0.08625m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem about the momentum conservation law. The total momentum before equals the total momentum after.

$p_f=p_i$

pf: final momentum

pi: initial momentum

The analysis of the momentum conservation is about a horizontal momentum (x axis). When the quarterback jumps straight up, his horizontal momentum is zero. Then, after the quarterback throw the ball the sum of the momentum of both quarterback and ball must be zero.

Then, you have:

$m_Qv_{Qxi}+m_{Bxi}v_{Bxi}=m_Qv_{Qxf}+m_{Bxf}v_{Bxf}$ (1)

mQ: the mass of the quarterback = 80kg

mB: the mass of the football = 0.43kg

(vQx)i: the horizontal velocity of quarterback before throwing the ball = 0m/s

(vBx)i: the horizontal velocity of football before being thrown = 0m/s

(vQx)f: the horizontal velocity of quarterback after throwing the ball = ?

(vBx)f: the horizontal velocity of football after being thrown = 15 m/s

You replace the values of the variables in the equation (1), and you solve for (vBx)f:

$0\ kgm/s=-(80kg)(v_{Bxf})+(0.46kg)(15m/s)\\\\v_{Bxf}=\frac{(0.46kg)(15m/s)}{80kg}=0.08625\frac{m}{s}$

Where you have taken the speed of the quarterback as negative because is in the negative direction of the x axis.

Hence, the speed of the quarterback after he throws the ball is 0.08625m/s

Find the current flowing out of the battery.

klemol [59]

Answer:

0.36 A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω resistor. This is illustrated below:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 35 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?

Since, the two resistors are in parallel connections, their equivalence can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

Rₑq = (35 × 20) / (35 + 20)

Rₑq = 700 / 55

Rₑq = 12.73 Ω

Next, we shall determine the total resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω (Rₑq) = 12.73 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 15 Ω

Total resistance (R) in the circuit =?

R = Rₑq + R₃ (they are in series connection)

R = 12.73 + 15

R = 27.73 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the current. This can be obtained as follow:

Total resistance (R) = 27.73 Ω

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 27.73

Divide both side by 27.73

I = 10 / 27.73

I = 0.36 A

Therefore, the current is 0.36 A.

how can you use the periodic table to determine the average number of neutrons in element has even though the number of neutrons

just olya [345]

The periodic table shows the atomic number ( # of protons) and average atomic mass (weight of protons and neutrons combined). You can subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of that element to find number of neutrons.
