Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

Levart [38]

Answer:

(A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}$

$m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}$

$m=5.65 = 6$

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

$\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}$

$\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m$

$\beta=3.33\ \mu m$

Hence, (A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.

describe the charge, mass and the location of each subatomic particle and the role each plays in determining the properties of a

Harrizon [31]

Explanation :

An atom is a smallest particle of matter. An atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. These are three subatomic particles.

Protons are positively charged species while neutrons are negatively charged species. Electrons revolves around an atom.

Charge :

The charge of an electron is negative or $-1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C$

The charge of proton is +e or $1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C$

Neutron has no charge.

Mass :

Atomic mass of electron is $9.1\times10^{-31}\ Kg$

Atomic mass of proton is $1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

Atomic mass of neutron is $1.67\times10^{-27}\ Kg$

Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus at the center.

Charge, atomic mass and location determines the properties of an atom. Atomic mass tells about the number of protons and neutrons inside an atom. Electric charge tells us the number of electrons gain or lost.
