Answer:
120 J
Explanation:
KE = mv²/2 = (0.15 kg * [40 m/s]²)/2 = 120 J
The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation
where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and 
is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
Net force would be towards the right and back (opposite direction of motion) since it's slowing down (decelerating) and turning right.
<span>We can use an equation to find the gravitational force exerted on the HST.
F = GMm / r^2
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Earth
m is the mass of the HST
r is the distance to the center of the Earth
This force F provides the centripetal force for the HST to move in a circle. The equation we use for circular motion is:
F = mv^2 / r
m is the mass of the HST
v is the tangential speed
r is the distance to the center of the Earth
Now we can equate these two equations to find v.
mv^2 / r = GMm / r^2
v^2 = GM / r
v = sqrt{GM / r }
v = sqrt{(6.67 x 10^{-11})(5.97 x 10^{24}) / 6,949,000 m}
v = 7570 m/s which is equal to 7.570 km/s
HST's tangential speed is 7570 m/s or 7.570 km/s</span>
