KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = 16,000 Joules
The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of
950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>
<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)
<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²
Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of
<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)
<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s
which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.
Answer:
C. 28.09 amu
Explanation:
The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).
The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.
The atomic weight is computed as follows:
atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of X-30 × fractional abundance
atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 × 0.0310
atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194
atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu
To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu
The mass of the box would be 30!
Answer:
1) a substance made by mixing other substances together.
2) diverse in character or content.
3) of the same kind; alike.
4) a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.
5) a homogeneous noncrystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.
