Answer:

A= 150 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is ;

K.E = 1/2 * m *v²  where m is mass and v is velocity

Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy

W= Δ K.E

Given that K.E = 150 J

Taking that the ball was stationary before it was thrown, this makes its initial kinetic energy to be 0 J so the work done will be

W=  Δ K.E

W= 150 - 0

W= 150 J

explain why a balloon in hot water expands but balloon in ice water shrinks be sure to include information regarding the (1) num
svetlana [45]

I think that the correct answer would be 2.

The molecules in the air are always creating pressure. Countless molecules collide into everything every second, creating a constant force. Before the air in the balloon is heated, the molecules inside are creating as much pressure as the molecules outside, meaning that the balloon stays at equilibrium and neither expands nor contracts. When they get heated, however, the inside molecules start moving with more force. They create more pressure, causing the balloon to expand outward until the pressure equalizes.

There is 50.0 mL of a gas at a temperature of 5°C. Its pressure is 760 mm Hg. What temperature is needed
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

41°C

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is absolute pressure,

V is volume,

n is number of moles,

R is universal gas constant,

and T is absolute temperature.

n is held constant, so:

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

Given:

P₁ = 760 mmHg

V₁ = 50.0 mL

T₁ = 5°C = 278 K

P₂ = 780 mmHg

V₂ = 55 mL

Find: T₂

(760 mmHg) (50.0 mL) / (278 K) = (780 mmHg) (55 mL) / T

T = 314 K

T = 41°C

the cyclist has a mass of 50kg and is acceleratiing at 0.9m/s^2. What is the size of the unbalanced force F acting on the cyclis
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

45 N

Explanation:

The question can be solved by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net (unbalanced) force on the cyclist

m is the mass of the cyclist

a is his acceleration

In this problem:

m = 50 kg

a=0.9 m/s^2

Therefore, the unbalanced force is

F=(50)(0.9)=45 N

What is true about semiconductors?
Iteru [2.4K]

In semiconductors, you can change how easily electrons move through them. That is option 2.

<h3>What are semiconductors?</h3><h3 />

Semiconductors is defined as those substances that possess the characteristics of both metal and non metal.

Examples of semiconductors include the silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide elements.

The semiconductors are able to conduct electricity through the presence of electrons and holes in them.

The movement of these electrons can be controlled through the addition of impurities to the semiconductor material.

Therefore, in semiconductors, you can change how easily electrons move through them.

Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a closed, rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase.
exis [7]
The atoms/ particles that are in the gas have gotten energy from the heat, because of that, they zoom around the container, putting pressure on it :) hope it helps :)
