Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) (speed)²

KE = 1/2 (8) (4)² = (4) x (16) = <em>64 joules</em>

Which description matches up correctly with each type of particle? Alpha - no mass and no charge; beta - mass of 4 and charge of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The closest answer is
Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of +2; beta - no mass and charge of -1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.

How does weak background radiation coming from every direction in the sky support the big bang theory

postnew [5]

Answer:

Option 1

It provides evidence of universe expansion

Explanation:

The Big Bang Theory actually explains the universe as originating from a single point, which expanded as billions of years went by.

The background radiation supports this theory in the sense that if the universe is expanding, this means that the universe is cooling and continuously losing heat, which results in background radiation

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

$L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2$ Replacing this value in the previous equation:

$\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34$ Solving for H:

$H=\sqrt{52}$

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

$\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°$

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

$-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0$ where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

$T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N$

A 2.0-kg silverware drawer does not slide readily. The owner gradually pulls with more and more force, and when the applied forc

topjm [15]

Answer: 0.45

Explanation:

First note that the body that causes the body to move is its moving force (Fm) which is 9.0N

Since the mass of the body is 2.0kg, the weight will be;

W= mg = 2×10

W= 20N

For static body, the frictional force (Ff) acting on the body is equal to the moving force (Fm) since both forces acts along the horizontal on the body.

Ff = Fm = 9.0N

The normal reaction (R) on the body will also be equal to its weight(W) since weight acts downwards and the reaction acts in the opposite direction (upwards).

R = W = 20N

Ff = nR taking 'n' as coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet.

9.0 = 20n

n = 9/20

n = 0.45

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 950 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag force on a prop-driven tra

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55$

Explanation:

F = Force

C = Drag coefficient equal for both aircrafts

ρ = Density of air

A = Surface area equal for both aircrafts

v = Velocity

$v_2=\frac{2}{5}v_1$

$F_1=\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2$

$F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CAv_2^2\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2$

Dividing the above two equations we get

$\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2}{\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{0.38}{0.67\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55$

The ratio of the drag forces is $\mathbf{\frac{F_1}{F_2}}=\mathbf{3.55}$
