a. Second ball of mass 3m has the larger kinetic energy than the first ball of mass m

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the Kinetic Energy formula:

\boxed {E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 }

<em>Ek = kinetic energy ( J )</em>

<em>m = mass of object ( kg )</em>

<em>v = speed of object ( m/s )</em>

\texttt{ }

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of first ball = m

mass of second ball = 3m

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of kinetic energy of the balls = Ek₁ : Ek₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 : \frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 (2gh) : \frac{1}{2}m_2 (2gh)

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m_1gh : m_2gh

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m_1 : m_2

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m : 3m

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = 1 : 3

Ek_2 = 3Ek_1

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

Second ball of mass 3m has the larger kinetic energy than the first ball of mass m

The potential energy that the ball has at the top of the tower is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The second ball has more potential energy at the top, because you did more work on it to carry it up there. So it has more KE at the bottom. (A)

A crate is pulled with a force of 165 N at an angle 30 ° northwest. What is the resultant horizontal force on the crate?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N

Explanation:

Since the a gle is 30° northwest, then it means the resultant force will be horizontal and as such;

Resultant horizontal force = 165 * cos 30

Resultant horizontal force = 142.89

Approximating to a whole number gives;

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N

The gamma ray released by each decay carries 140kev of energy. find the total energy e released by decays in the 2 hours.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
First, we would need to know the decaying isotope.
Next, we use the decay formula
A = Ao e^(-kt)
After determining the remaining amount after two hours, the decay reaction can be used to determine the number of gamma rays released. If the given is in terms of mole, then the total energy is
E = 140n KeV where n is the number of moles of gamma rays released
