Answer: fourth option 1.2 × 10³ joules

Explanation:

1) kinetic energy is calculated as the half of the product of the mass times the square of the speed:

=> KE = (1/2) m × (v)²

2) you know the mass after the collision and the speed so you have all the data fo find the numerical value of the expression for KE:

m = m1 + m2 = 200 kg + 250 kg = 450 kg

KE = (1/2) × 450 kg × (2.3 m/s)²  = 1,190.25 joules ≈ 1200 joules = 1.2 × 10³ joules, which is the last option of the list.

The type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is _______. The type of function that describes t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

exponential

Explanation:

type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential because as we know that here function is

y = A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}  × cos(ωt + ∅ )    ..................................... ( 1 )          

here function A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}   is amplitude

as per equation ( 1 )it is exponential

so that we can say that amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential

A demented scientist creates a new temperature scale, the "Z scale." He decides to call the boiling point of nitrogen 0°Z and th
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A) Z = 0.577 C +112.931

Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z

B) C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C

C) K = C +273.15

K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K

Explanation:

For this case we want to create a function like this:

Z = a C + b

Where Z represent the degrees for the Z scale C the Celsius grades and  tha valus a and b parameters for the model.

The boiling point of nitrogen is -195,8 °C

The melting point of iron is 1538 °C

We know the following equivalences:

-195.8 °C = 0 °Z

1538 °C = 1000 °Z

Let's say that one point its (1538C, 1000 Z) and other one is (-195.8 C, 0Z)

So then we can calculate the slope for the linear model like this:

a = \frac{z_2 -z_1}{c_2 -c_1}= \frac{1000 Z- 0Z}{1538C -(-195.8 C)}=\frac{1000 Z}{1733.8 C}=0.577 \frac{Z}{C}

And now for the slope we can use one point let's use for example (-195.8C, 0Z), and we have this:

0 = 0.577 (-195.8) + b

And if we solve for b we got:

b = 0.577*195.8 =112.931 Z

So then our lineal model would be:

Z = 0.577 C +112.931

Part A

The boiling point of water is 100C so we just need to replace in the model and see what we got:

Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z

Part B

For this case we have Z =100 and we want to solve for C, so we can do this:

Z-112.931 = 0.577 C

C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C

Part C

For this case we know that K = C +273.15

And we can use the result from part B to solve for K like this:

K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K

Allushta [10]

The tiny ripples on the soup are not only similar to wind-generated
waves ... they ARE wind-generated waves.  This is a big part of the
reason why they bear such an uncanny resemblance.
