What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J

We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v. 

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!

Tennis balls traveling at greater than 100 mph routinely bounce off tennis rackets. At some sufficiently high speed, however, th
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Probability of tunneling is 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = 2.0\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Max velocity of the tennis ball, v_{m} = 200\ mph = 89 m/s

Now,

The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_{m}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\times 89^{2} = 396.05\ J

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0.5\times 0.1\times 54^{2} = 154.8\ m/s

Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:

\eta = \frac{\bar{h}}{\sqrt{2m(KE - KE')}}

\bar{h} = \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{2\pi} = 1.0545\times 10^{- 34}\ Js

Thus

\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}

\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}

\eta = 1.52\times 10^{-35}\ m

Now,

We can calculate the tunneling probability as:

P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2t}{\eta}}

P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2\times 2.0\times 10^{- 3}}{1.52\times 10^{-35}}} = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}

P(t) = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}

Taking log on both the sides:

logP(t) = -2.63\times 10^{32} loge

P(t) = 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}

How do reflection and refraction of waves affect communication?​
romanna [79]

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

A test tube of length L and cross-sectional area A is submerged in water with the open end down so that the edge of the tube is
Margaret [11]

Answer:

if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

Explanation:

The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,

           P V = nR T

In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H

For pressure the open end of the tube is

         P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H

Let's write the gas equation for the colon

            P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

            P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂

             V₂ = V₁    P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)

If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change

A certain lightning bolt moves 10.0 C of charge. How many charges have been moved if the fundamental unit of charge is 1.6 x 10-
Andrej [43]

To solve this problem, use the ratio given by the total number of electrons or protons that exist as a function of the total charge, and inversely proportional to the value of the fundamental charge. The number of fundamental unit  |q_e| that constitutes a charge of 40.0C can be calculated as

N = \frac{|Q|}{|q_e|}

Here,

q_e = Value of charge and it is the fundamental charge

Q = Total Charge

N = Total number of electron or protons

The number of fundamental units is calculated as follows

N = \frac{10.0C}{1.6*10^{-19}C}

N = 6.25*10^{19}

Therefore the number of fundamental charge units moved by lightning bolt is 6.25*10^{19}
