An 8 kg cat is running 4 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (8 kg) (4 m/s)² =

 

                                 (4 kg) (16 m²/s²) =

                                  64  (kg-m/s²) (m) = 64 newton-m = 64 joules

  (about 17.6 pounds)

A wave is 8 meters long and has a frequency of 3 Hz. Find speed
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The speed is 24 \frac{meter}{s}

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 \frac{meter}{s}

<u><em>The speed is 24 </em></u>\frac{meter}{s}<u><em></em></u>

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

448 meters

Explanation:

every second it moves 8 meters, so all you have to do is multiply 56x8 or 8x56 either way it is the same thing and you will get the same answer

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.
