A scientist at a space research center is doing research on near-Earth objects and determining the kinetic energy of a theoretic

al object. A meteorite with a mass of 12 grams falls to Earth. If the meteorite’s velocity is 35 kilometers/second, what is its kinetic energy?

(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

calculate the time (in years) it would take to send a message to the Galactic Capitol located at the center of our Milky Way gal
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The total time is \bf{52850~Yr}.

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between Galactic Capitol and Earth is, d = 2.5 \times 10^{20}~m

The speed of light is, c = 3 \times 10^{8}~m/s

The time taken by the message to reach and come back to Earth is given by

t &=& \dfrac{2d}{c}\\~~&=& \dfrac{2(2.5 \times 10^{20}~m)}{3 \times 10^{8}~m/s}\\~~&=& 1.6 \times 10^{12}~s\\~~&=& \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{12}~s}{(86400 \times 365)~s}~Yr\\~~&\approx& 52849~Yr

In addition they take 1 year to decide to reply.

Thus, the total time is 25850~Yr.

What type of wave has more energy, an ultraviolet wave or an x-ray?
muminat
As the wave length increases the energy of the wave decreases as the equation that relates the c=λυ λ is the wave length and υ is the frequency (which is directly proportional to the energy).
In the wave length spectrum, x-ray has a shorter wave length, meaning that x-ray has a higher energy than ultraviolet waves.

Hope this helps.

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.
