Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 1000 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

The mass of the toy plane is 20 kilograms and the velocity is 10 meters per second.

$m= 20 \ kg \\v= 10 \ m/s \\$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}(20 \ kg) (10 \ m/s)^2$

Solve the exponent first.

(10 m/s)²= 10 m/s *10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

$E_k=\frac{1}{2} (20 \ kg) (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply the last two numbers together.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2}(2000 \ kg*m^2/s^2)$

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2.

$E_k= 1000 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer of 1000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 1000 Joules

$E_k= 1000 \ J$

The kinetic energy of the toy plane is 1000 Joules

Your blood runs through your blood stream, every vein in your body. without that heartbeat the blood would not make it to the required places it needs to run to and you will lose oxygen and parts of your body and organs will shut down.

Find the west component of 45 m 19º S of W

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Explanation:

We need to translate the sentence into a vectoral expression in rectangular form, which is defined as:

$(x, y) = (r_{x}, r_{y})$

Where:

$r_{x}$ - Horizontal component of vector distance, measured in meters.

$r_{y}$ - Vertical component of vector distance, measured in meters.

Let suppose that east and north have positive signs, then we get the following expression:

$(x, y) = (-45\cdot \cos 19^{\circ}, -45\cdot \sin 19^{\circ})\,[m]$

$(x, y) = (-42.548,-14.651)\,[m]$

The west component corresponds to the first component of the ordered pair. That is to say:

$x = -42.548\,m$

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Precipitation tends to be _______ on the _______ side of a mountain because water vapor _______ as it rises there.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

The diagram shows a multi-tap transformer. Which pair of terminals would you connect to produce an output voltage of 8 V?

Triss [41]

Answer:

The pair of terminals to produce an output voltage of 8V are K and M.

Explanation:

A transformer is an electronic device that can be used to increase or decrease an output voltage. It consists of secondary and primary coils, and operates on the principle of induction.

$\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }$ = $\frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }$

where: $V_{s}$ is the voltage in the secondary coil, $V_{p}$ is the voltage in the primary coil, $N_{s}$ is the number of turns in the secondary coil and $N_{p}$ is the number of turns in the primary coil.
