Answer:

The speed should be reduced by 1/√2 or 0.707 times

Explanation:

The relationship between the kinetic energy, mass and velocity can be represented by the following equation:

K.E = ½m.v²

In this equation, the mass is inversely proportional to the square of the velocity or speed. This means that as the mass increases, the speed reduces by × 2.

Let; initial mass = m1

Final mass = m2

Initial velocity = v1

Final velocity = v2

According to the question, if the mass of the body is doubled i.e. m2 = 2m

½m1v1² = ½m2v2²

½ × m × v1² = ½ × 2m × v2²

Multiply both sides by 2

(½ × m × v1²)2 = (½ × 2m × v2²)2

m × v1² = 2m × v2²

Divide both sides by m

v1² = 2v2²

Divide both sides by 2

v1²/2= v2²

Square root both sides

√v1²/2= √v2²

v1/√2 = v2

v2 = 1/√2 v1

This shows that to maintain the same kinetic energy if the mass is doubled, the speed should be reduced by 1/√2 or 0.707 times.

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?
denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.

In the United States, where can volcanoes be found?
Sedbober [7]
<span>The volcanoes of USA are located along the west coast, at the subduction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. During the 20th century there were only two eruptions in continental USA; Lassen in 1915, and Mt St Helens in 1980. Alaska and Hawaii contain currently active volcanoes. hope this helps:)</span>

A shopping mall has a length of 200 m and a width of 75 m. What is the area of the mall?
sweet [91]
To find the area, we just need to multiply the length by the width. 200 x 75 = 15,000. The mall has an area of 15,000 sq. feet.
