3. Our favorite nature explorer Steve Irwin is currenty warking with crocodiles in the Nile River. One of the big boy crocs gets

hungry and takes off after some prey. Steve and his wife Terri want to know how much kinetic energy the croc exhibits when chasing prey. The croc has a mass of 600 kg and can swim at a velocity of 4 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of the croc,​

Answer:

K.E = 4800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 600 kg

Velocity = 4 m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}*600*4^{2}

K.E = 300 * 16

K.E = 4800 Joules.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
VashaNatasha [74]
In my opinion I would say all of the above; because people's job depends on where they live or how their environment is. The way they travel is also affected because we can't travel by car through water and can't use a boat in land. Free time as well because people like to travel and or just stay at home depending on the weather which is part of earths features.

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

Doc Brown holds on to the end of the minute hand of the clock atop city hall. The tangential velocity of the minute hand is 0.41
alexdok [17]

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

2CO + 2NO → 2CO2 + N2 is it balannced
natita [175]

If the same atoms appear on both sides, then it's balanced.

In this reaction, there are 4 Oxygens, 2 Carbons, and 2 Nitrogens on each side.  So numerically, <em>it's balanced</em>.  But I don't know enough chemistry to say whether the reaction is possible.
