Answer:

A. The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Now, kinetic energy of a moving body is given by;

KE = 1/2 mv^2

Where;

m = mass of the body

v = velocity (speed) of the body

It follows that if the mass of the spaceship is constant, a sudden increase in speed leads to a corresponding increase in the kinetic energy of the spaceship in accordance with the relationship show above.

Which statement explains why water is classified

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds are the substances which contain two or more different elements.

Similarly, water is a compound as it is made up when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Compounds can be broken down with the help of chemical reactions.

Hence, the statement water can be broken down by chemical means explains why water is classified as a compound.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

$[A_0]$ = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

So,

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg$

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg$

$[A_t]=17.49\ mg$

<u>Iron remains = 17.49 mg</u>

Which of the following is the largest volume? 1.2 x 101 m3 1.2 x 108 cm3 2.0 x 104 dm3 1.2 x 108 mm3

alexandr1967 [171]

In order to answer this question, the units of volume must be consistent. In this problem, we decide the unit m3 to be uniform. Option A is equal to 12 m3, option b is equal to 1.2x10^8/100^3 or 120 m3. Option C is 2.0 x10^4/ 10^3 or 20 m3. Option D is 1.2x10^8/ 1000^3 or 0.12 m3. The greatest volume is option b. 120 m3.

Hypothesis 1: If you increase the

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Your question seems to me that it is somewhat poorly written, but it could help you by telling you that by increasing the collision of the individuals, the friction between them increases, therefore increasing the release of energy in the form of heat and thus increasing the temperature.

Therefore, the hypothesis raised would be correct.

Explanation:

If the shock is perfectly inelastic (plastic), the kinetic energy is not conserved and, as a consequence, the colliding bodies can undergo deformations and increase in temperature.
