Answer:

They combine if they have the same units

Explanation:

I am not quite sure what you mean by this question. I will try my best to answer this.

Velocities combine only if they both have the same units. The linear velocities have the unit meters per second. For example, a linear velocity and an angular velocity cannot combine together because angular velocity has a unit of radians per second.

What are the names of the 2 charged particles in an atom and what are their charges

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Protons and electrons

Explanation:

The atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The physical and chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by the number of these particle composition.
The protons present in the center of an atom called the nucleus is positively charged.
The neutrons are also located in the nucleus of an atom with no charge.
The electrons has a negative charge and it is placed around the nucleus having different shells and quantum state.
The charges of the protons and electrons are denoted by +q and -q. The quantization of these charges are +1, +2, ... and -1, -2, .... etc.

A watermelon is dropped off of a 50 ft bridge, and it explodes upon impact with the ground. How fast was it traveling in mph upo

Drupady [299]

Answer: 56.72 ft/s

Explanation:

Ok, initially we only have potential energy, that is equal to:

U =m*g*h

where g is the gravitational acceleration, m the mass and h the height.

h = 50ft and g = 32.17 ft/s^2

when the watermelon is near the ground, all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Then we have:

K = U

m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2

we solve it for v.

v = √(2g*h) = √(2*32.17*50) ft/s = 56.72 ft/s

A boy throws a ball of mass 0.22 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 29 m/s. When the ball returns to the boy, its speed

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The work is -67.76 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is considered one of one of the fundamental laws of physics and states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. except when it is transformed into other types of energy.

This is summed up in the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in the universe, only transformed into other forms of energy.

In this case you must calculate the loss of kinetic energy. This loss is actually the work done against the resistive force in the air. Friction is the only force other than gravity that acts on the ball.

So, the loss of kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2} *m*(vf^{2} -vi^{2} )$
