A 0.12 kg bird is flying at a constant speed of 7.8 m/s. what is the birds conetic energy?
lana [24]
KE=1/2mv^2 - equation for kinetic energy
KE=(1/2)(0.12 kg)((7.8 m/s)^2 - plug it into the formula
KE=(0.06 kg)(60.84 m/s) - multiply 1/2 to the mass and square the speed
KE= 3.7 J - answer
Hope this helps

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

So,  3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Which would most likely cause specular reflection? O a pathway with rough rocks a shiny, smooth leaf a small patch of soil a rou
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a shiny smooth leaf

Explanation:

A shiny smooth leaf will cause specular reflection. Other choices will cause diffused reflection from the surface.

A specular reflection is similar to how a mirror or smooth surface reflects. The incident light is given off as a single ordered reflection from the surface of a body.

For this to occur, the surface incident must be smooth and without rough patterns on it.

A path way with rough rocks, small patch of soil and rough logs will give off diffused reflection
