Answer:

The bowling ball has greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m: is the mass

v: is the speed

For the bowling ball we have:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}5 kg*(6 m/s)^{2} = 90 J

And for the ship:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}120000 kg*(0.02 m/s)^{2} = 24 J

Therefore, the bowling ball has greater kinetic energy.

I hope it helps you!

A kettle is rated at 1 kW, 220 V. Calculate the working resistance of the kettle.
Anna [14]

Explanation:

Power of electric kettle, P = 1 kW

Voltage, V = 220 V

(a) Electric power is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is resistance

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{10^3}\\\\R=48.4\ \Omega

(b) When connected to a 220 V supply, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the kettle to reach boiling point.

Energy supplied is given by :

E=P\times t

P is power, P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

E=\dfrac{V^2}{R}t\\\\E=\dfrac{(220)^2}{48.4}\times 180\\\\E=180000\ J\\\\E=180\ kJ

A projectile is fired from the origin (at y = 0 m) as shown in the diagram. The initial velocity
Viktor [21]

Answer:

-26 m/s.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:

t=\frac{0m/s-26m/s}{-9.8m/s^2} =2.65s

With which we compute the maximum height:

y=26m/s*2.65s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.65s)^2 \\\\y=34.5m

Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:

v_f=\sqrt{0m/s-(-9.8m/s^2)*2*34.5m}\\ \\v_f=-26m/s

Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.

Regards.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te
zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

The difference between the speed of sound n air at 0°C and the speed of sound in air at 20°c is that... A. Cooler air molecules
sergejj [24]
Heat, like sound, is kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures heave more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. 

So the answer is A.
