Answer:
1.59 seconds
12.3 meters
but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.
Explanation:
This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.
Time
<u>Given</u>
a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.
d = 20 m
v = 12.6 m/s
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi * t + 1/2at^2
<u>Solution</u>
Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to
d = vi * t
20 = 12.6 * t
t = 20 / 12.6
t = 1.59 seconds.
It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground
Height of the building
<u>Givens</u>
t = 1.59 sec
vi = 0 Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0
a = 9.8 m/s^2 The acceleration is vertical.
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
<u>Solution</u>
d = 1/2 a*t^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2
d = 12.3 meters.
The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)
The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):
<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?
</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:
1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.
Answer:
B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.
It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.
The correct answer is:
Let's see why.
1 amu corresponds to the mass of the proton, which is:
if we convert this into energy, using Einstein equivalence between mass and energy, we find:
Now we can convert it into electronvolts:
So, 1 amu = 934 MeV. Therefore, 3 amu corresponds to 3 times this value:
