<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

A 20 kg truck drives in a circle of radius 4 m at 10m/s. What is the centripetal acceleration of the truck?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

B. 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.

a = v² / r

Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:

a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m

a = 25 m/s²

How does laser works ?<br>​
erastova [34]

Explanation:

Lasers produce a narrow beam of light in which all of the light waves have very similar wavelengths. The laser's light waves travel together with their peaks all lined up, or in phase. This is why laser beams are very narrow, very bright, and can be focused into a very tiny spot.
