GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.
1 answer:
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
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

Answer:
The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.
Explanation:
From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.
Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.
The mass number is given by:
Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.
For atom X and atom Z we have:
Hence, they have a different mass number.
We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is and the second isotope is
. Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.
I hope it helps you!
