He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

A rock falls off a cliff. How fast will it be going after falling for 4.33 seconds?

bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

Which of the following has the most momentum?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:you riding your bike at 12m/s

Explanation: this is because momentum P = mass x velocity. With a bigger mass and a velocity of about 12m/s, you really have a great momentum.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

nevsk [136]

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

what would the mass be of an object that was moving at a velocity of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 500j be?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.816 kg

Explanation:

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

so $m=\frac{2E_k}{v^2}=\frac{2\times500}{35^2}=0.816 kg$

n 38 g rifle bullet traveling at 410 m/s buries itself in a 4.2 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.8 m long string, which makes the pend

Kitty [74]

Answer:

68cm

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by using the momentum conservation and energy conservation. By using the conservation of the momentum you get

$p_f=p_i\\mv_1+Mv_2=(m+M)v$

m: mass of the bullet

M: mass of the pendulum

v1: velocity of the bullet = 410m/s

v2: velocity of the pendulum =0m/s

v: velocity of both bullet ad pendulum joint

By replacing you can find v:

$(0.038kg)(410m/s)+0=(0.038kg+4.2kg)v\\\\v=3.67\frac{m}{s}$

this value of v is used as the velocity of the total kinetic energy of the block of pendulum and bullet. This energy equals the potential energy for the maximum height reached by the block:

$E_{fp}=E_{ki}\\\\(m+M)gh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

g: 9.8/s^2

h: height

By doing h the subject of the equation and replacing you obtain:

$(0.038kg+4.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)h=\frac{1}{2}(0.038kg+4.2kg)(3.67m/s)^2\\\\h=0.68m$

hence, the heigth is 68cm
