Answer:

45.11 kmph and 12.530 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

406/9 gives the answer in kilometers

And we convert it to m/s by multiplying it with 1000/3600

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

$h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}$

That give u s

$h = 169.2 \, m$

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

$GPE=mgh$

And we get

$GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J$

$\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

What is 1/12+7/9 hj

Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ = \frac{1 \times 3}{12 \times 3} + \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} \\ \\ = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{3 + 28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{31}{36} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{31}{36} }} \\$

Why can gases be compressed

Keith_Richards [23]

Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

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.
