Answer:

The Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

Explanation:

We know that Kinetic Energy is basically termed as the capacity of a body to do work.

Kinetic energy is often used to associate with moving objects, therefore, K.E is normally termed as the energy of motion.

The formula of K.E of an object of mass and velocity is defined

K.E = 1/2mv²

From the formula, it is clear that K.E is directly proportional to its mass and also directly proportional to the square of its velocity.

For example,

If A toy plane with a mass of 10 kg is flying at 20 m/s. Its K.E will be:

m = 10 kg

v = 20 m/s

K.E = 1/2mv²

= 1/2(10)(20)²

= 1/2(10)(400)

= 5(400)

= 2000 J

Now, let suppose, if we double the mass of a toy plane i.e.

m = 20 kg

K.E = 1/2mv²

= 1/2(20)(20)²

= 1/2(20)(400)

= 10(400)

= 400 J

Therefore, the K.E is doubled when doubled the mass.

Therefore, the Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

The magnitude R, measured on the Richter scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scale $R = log(\frac{I}{I_o})$

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity $= 10^{6.8} \times I_o$

$I_o$ - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

$R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})$

$R = log(10^{6.8})$

R = 6.8

A mass m hangs from string wrapped around a pulley of radius R. The pulley has a moment of inertia I, and its pivot is frictionl

Semmy [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

radius of Pulley is r

Pulley has a moment of inertia is I

Suppose mass is falling with an acceleration a and T be the Tension in string

$mg-T=ma$

$T=m(g-a)$

And $I\times \alpha =T\times R$

$I\times \frac{a}{R}=T\times R$

$I\times \frac{a}{R}=m(g-a)\times R$

$I=\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}$

and Torque is $I\alpha$

$\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \alpha$

$\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \frac{a}{R}$

$\tau =mR(g-a)$

Which is less than $mgR$

What happens when an electron absorbs a photon

nordsb [41]

Explanation:

A small piece of energy is called as Electron. It cannot be broken down further into smaller pieces. Photon is a basic unit of light. Photons always travel. They are in a continuous motion. So when electron needs energy, They absorb light. The light is absorbed or emitted in the form of photons. Each photon contains energy which is absorbed by the electron to gain its energy. After absorbing the photon, electron moves towards a higher energy level. So when an electron absorbs a photon, energy is gained by the electron.
