<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 10-kg wagon is pulled by a force of 70 Newtons while friction provides 20 Newtons of force. How much acceleration will the wag
kkurt [141]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon  = 10kg

Force of pull  = 70N

Frictional force = 20N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the wagon = ?

Solution:

Frictional force is a force that opposes motion.

The net force is given as:

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

 Force of pull  - Frictional force = mass x acceleration

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     70 - 20  = 10 x acceleration

       50  = 10 x acceleration

      Acceleration  = 5m/s²

A thin, flat washer is a disk with an outer diameter of 14 cm and a hole in the center with a diameter of 7 cm. The washer has a
Kryger [21]

Answer:

2583.9 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Outer diameter = 14 cm

Outer radius, R = 7cm = 0.07m

Inner diameter = 7 cm

Inner radius, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035m

Charge of washer = 8 nC = 8 * 10^(-9)C

Distance from washer, z = 33 cm = 0.33m

The electric field due to a washer (hollow disk) is given as:

E = k * σ * 2π [ 1 - z/(√(z² + R²)]

Where σ = charge per unit area

σ = q/π(R² - r²)

σ = 8 * 10^(-9) /(π*(0.07 - 0.035)²)

σ = 2.077 * 10^(-6) C/m²

=> E = 9 * 10^9 * 2.077 * 10^(-6) * 2π * [1 - 0.33/(√(0.33² + 0.07²)]

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * (1 - 0.978)

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * 0.022

E = 2583.9 N/C

Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere?
Margaret [11]
You can eliminate the answer A because the moon is super cold
For answer B, atmosphere is contained of gasses, not just oxygen alone
Definitely not C 
The answer is D because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold the gasses, as a result, only a small amount of gasses has an attraction to it ( the moon has a little atmosphere though) but not enough to be considered
