A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a

s a 1 gram BB pellet fired from a BB gun at 180 m/s. Do you agree or disagree with the student's claim? Use evidence and mathematical reasoning to support your response.

Answer:

I do agree with the student. Because imagene you have a tissue and a stick. And you throw them at the same speed , the stick will go farther because it' s heavier but the tissue would just blow around and not go forward because it is not heavy enought.

Explanation:

Hope this is correct have a terrific day.

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height   y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

           cos 25 = x / r

           sin 25 = z / r

           x₁ = r cos 20

           z₁ = r sin 25

          x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

          z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height   y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

          x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

          z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

         d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

        d² = (18126-16314)²  + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

        d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

        d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

        d = √(408.7 10⁴)

        d = 20,216 10² m

        d = 2021.6 km

A lead ball has a mass of 55.0 grams and a density of 11.4 g/cm3. what is the volume of the ball?
lesantik [10]
Density=mass/volume therefore volume=mass/density; 55g/11.4g/cm^3= 4.82cm^3

Which would be the best metal to use for the insulated wire?
katrin2010 [14]
Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

A simple pendulum consists of a mass M attached to a string oflength L andnegligible mass. For this system, when undergoing smal
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.
