Answer:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits for exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in part because it recognizes that this form of radiation can cause cancer.

A 0.500 kg bullet is fired from a gun at 25.0 m/s, how much kinetic energy does it have?

slamgirl [31]

Considering the definition of kinetic energy, the bullet has a kinetic energy of 156.25 J.

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass and in a rest position, until it reaches a given speed. Once this point is reached, the amount of accumulated kinetic energy will remain the same unless there is a change in speed or the body returns to its rest state by applying a force to it.

The kinetic energy is represented by the following expression:

Ec= ½ mv²

Where:

Ec is the kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J).
m is the mass measured in kilograms (kg).
v is the speed measured in meters over seconds (m/s).

<h3>Kinetic energy of a bullet</h3>

In this case, you know:

m= 0.500 kg
v= 25 m/s

Replacing in the definition of kinetic energy:

Ec= ½ ×0.500 kg× (25 m/s)²

Solving:

Finally, the bullet has a kinetic energy of 156.25 J.

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south. Find the magni

ozzi

Given :

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south.

To Find :

The magnitude and direction of

a) A + B .

b) A - B.

Solution :

Let , direction in north is given by +j and east is given by +i .

So , $A=-63i$ and $B=63j$

Now , A + B is given by :

$A+B=-63i+63j$

$| A+B | = 63\sqrt{2}$

Direction of A+B is 45° north of west .

Also , for A-B :

$A-B=-63i-63j$

$|A-B|=63\sqrt{2}$

Direction of A-B is 45° south of west .

( When two vector of same magnitude which are perpendicular to each other are added or subtracted the resultant is always 45° from each of them)

Hence , this is the required solution .

Which formulas have been correctly rearranged to solve for radius? Check all that apply. r = GM central/v^2 r =fcm/v^2 r =ac/v^2

jek_recluse [69]

The orbital radius is: $r=\frac{GM}{v^2}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
