Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

m= 2000 kg
s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2$

Solve the exponent.

(10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply the first two numbers together.

$E_k= 1000 \ kg \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply again.

$E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

$E_k= 100,000 \ J$

The roller coaster car has <u>100,000 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

$V_f^2-V_i^2=2as$

Where:

$V_f$ is the final velocity

$V_i$ is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

$V_f=V_{escape}, V_i=0,s=4 m$

So Equation will become:

$V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.

malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

$F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}$

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get $F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}$

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.

A man stands by a train track to watch the train car go by. Inside, a man walks through the train car eating a hot dog (the hot

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:

$v=v_t + v_m + v_h$

where

$v_t=+10 m/s$ is the velocity of the train (towards right)

$v_m=+2 m/s$ is the velocity of the man (towards right)

$v_h=-1 m/s$ is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s$

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.

Which properties do metalloids share with metals?

Inga [223]

Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.

ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.
