Answer:

The mouse runs faster to have the same kinetic energy as the elephant.

Explanation:

Note from the equation given, mass (m) is directly proportional to KE. This means an elephant with more mass will have more KE, therefore, for the mouse to compensate, it has to run faster because its KE is smaller because of its small mass. If both run at the same speed, the elephant would have thousands of times more kinetic energy than the mouse. So the mouse has to run faster so that its speed compansates for its smaller weight.

Atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of
wolverine [178]
<h2>Answer: protons and neutrons. </h2>

The atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of protons and neutrons.

The nucleus of an atom has very small dimensions. However, it <u>occupies its central part and concentrates more than 99% of its total mass. </u>

It is in the nucleus that the protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge) are found.

Frank does 2400J of work in climbing a set of stairs. If he does the work in 6 seconds, what is his power output?
timurjin [86]
Power = Work Done / Time taken

         Where Work Done is Joules, and Time is in Seconds, Power is in Watts

            = 2400 J / 6 seconds

            = 400 Watts

The power output is 400 Watts.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act
salantis [7]


The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body



If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.


Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.
