A 4 kg kitten is sliding at 12 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant force is applied that slows it with an accel

eration of 3 m/s/s. How much work must this force do to stop the kitten

Answer:

288 Joules

Explanation:

Work= delta kinetic energy. To find the work required to stop the kitten, you have to find the delta kinetic energy between when the kitten is moving and when it is stopped. Since it is not moving when it's stopped, it has no kinetic energy. So to find the work, just find the kinetic energy of the kitten moving at 12m/s.

KE=1/2((m)(v^2)), therefore

delta KE=(1/2)*((4kg)*((12m/s)^2))-0

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____
svp [43]

Correct answer is:

<h2>The maximum number of orbits in an atom is <u>Seven.</u></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

A 1000.kg car moving at north at 100. km/hr brakes to a stop in 50. m within a uniform acceleration. what are magnitude and dire
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Force=7.71KN in the opposite direction

Explanation:

Given the mass of the car(M)=1000Kg

The initial speed of the car(u)=100km/hr

we know that 1km/hr=5/18 m/sec

100km/hr=100*5/18 m/sec=27.77m/sec

the distance travelled before it stops (s)=50m

let the acceleration of the car be a

The final velocity of the car is 0.

we know that  v^{2}-u^{2}=2as

0^{2}-27.77^{2}=2(-a)(50)

a=7.712m/sec^{2}

We know that F=Ma

F=1000* 7.712=7712N=7.71KN

A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the masses are
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The time taken will be 0.553 seconds.

Explanation:

We should start off by finding the force exerted by the rope on the 3kg weight in this case.

Weight of 5kg mass = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 N

Weight of 3kg mass = 3 * 9.81 = 29.43 N

The force acting upward on the 3kg mass will equal the weight of the 5kg mass. Thus the resultant force acting on the 3kg mass is:

Total force = 49.05 - 29.43 = 19.62 N (upwards)

We can now find the acceleration:

F = m * a

19.62 = 3 * a

a = 6.54 m/s^2

We now use the following equation of motion to get the time taken to travel 1 meter:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

1=0*t+\frac{1}{2} (6.54*t^2)

t = 0.553 seconds

Which gas is the most abundant of the trace gases?
jek_recluse [69]
A trace gas is a gas which makes up less than 1% by volume of the Earth's atmosphere, and it includes all gases except nitrogen (78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%). The most abundant trace gas at 0.934% is argon.
