(Taking an online class with this exact question, Answer given by program)
KE= 1/2 mv^2
     = 1/2(0.012)(35,000)^2
     = 7.35x10^6
The kinetic energy of the meterorite is 7.35 x 10^6 Joules

<span>its kinetic energy is 7350kJ 
</span>

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Now, m = 12 gms = 0.012 kg
 And, velocity = 35 kilometers/second = 35000 m/sec

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} 0.012 kg * 35000*35000 m/[tex] s^{2}
                        = 6 10^{-2}×1225 ×10^{6} m/s^{2} 
                        = 7350 kJ

I have a strong hunch that if you read through pages 184 to 187 in the book,
you'll find each of these statements there, with no blank spaces.

1.  negative
2.  static
3.  electrons
4.  repel
5.  attract
6.  static
7.  electric current
8.  closed or complete
9.  open

The hour, minute, and second hands on a clock are 0.25 m , 0.31 m , and 0.34 m long, respectively.
sp2606 [1]

In 1 hour, the hour hand sweeps across 1/12 of the clock's face. In 40 min, the hour hand travels (40 min)/(60 min) = 2/3 of the path it covers in an hour, so a total of 1/12 × 2/3 = 1/18 of the clock's face. This hand traces out a circle with radius 0.25 m, so in 40 min its tip traces out 1/18 of this circle's radius, or

1/18 × 2<em>π</em> (0.25 m) ≈ 0.087 m

The minute hand traverses (40 min)/(60 min) = 2/3 of the clock's face, so it traces out 2/3 of the circumference of a circle with radius 0.31 m:

2/3 × 2<em>π</em> (0.31 m) ≈ 1.3 m

The second hand completes 1 revolution each minute, so in 40 min it would fully trace the circumference of a circle with radius 0.34 m a total of 40 times, so it covers a distance of

40 × 2<em>π</em> (0.34 m) ≈ 85 m

C. The Densities are equal.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is mass per unit volume or mass of a unit volume of a material substance.

If m1, V1 and D1 = mass, volume  and density respectively of ball C

m2, V2 and D2 = mass, volume and density respectively of ball D

According to the Question ,

V_{1} = 3V_{2}  , m_{2}  = \frac{1}{3} (m_{1} ) \\ \\= m_{1} = 3m_{2}

Therefore,

\frac{D_{1} }{D_{2} }  = (\frac{m_{1} }{V_{1} } )* (\frac{m_{2} }{V_{2} } )\\ \\= (\frac{3m_{2} }{3V_{2} })*(\frac{V_{2} }{m_{2} }) \\\\= 1

Hence, D1 = D2

Name two processes that release nuclear energy?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:  Nuclear energy is released from an atom through one of two processes: nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when the nuclei of atoms are combined or fused together. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, energy is released when the nuclei of atoms are split apart.
