Answer:

The speed of all ocean waves is controlled by gravity, wavelength, and water depth. Most characteristics of ocean waves depend on the relationship between their wavelength and water depth. Wavelength determines the size of the orbits of water molecules within a wave, but water depth determines the shape of the orbits

an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20

Schach [20]

Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,
