navik [9.2K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

potential energy PE = M g h

KE at bottom = 1/2 M V^2

Regardless of the slope of the slide the change in energy is the same

1/2 V^2 = g h

V = (2 g h)^1/2 = (2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10 m)^1/2 = 14 m / s

Perhaps the question says that h = 55 * .1 = 5.5 m

Then V = (2 * 9.8 * 5.5) = 10.4 m/s

What is the difference between a radiological weapon and a nuclear weapon?
AVprozaik [17]

What is the difference between the nuclear material in a bomb, versus a reactor? A nuclear reactor works by using the energy that is released when the nucleus of a heavy atom splits. That process is called fission. In reactors, fission occurs when uranium atoms are hit by slow-moving neutrons.

Write a 150-word paragraph or two that describes at least three everyday things that exist or occur because of science.
Zarrin [17]
You were able to access the internet to post this question because of science. Medicine or vitamin supplements you take are a result of science. You use soap to wash your hands because of our understanding of how germs work, which is science. Practically anything you can think of has come about through the achievements of science. <span>Image formation (due to phenomenon of reflection). </span><span>Mirage (Its a everyday thing in deserts due to refraction) </span>

Dispersion of light (Color recognition by our eyes due to dispersion). Three actual everyday occurence that are created through science are Nuclear power. Antibiotc Drugs- t<span>o give some merit to the above three, laser light</span>

Which undergoes the greatest change in momentum: (a) a baseball that is caught, (b) a baseball that is thrown, or (c) a baseball
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

(c) a baseball that is caught and then thrown back

Explanation:

The case when the baseball is caught and thrown back undergoes the maximum change in the momentum of the ball. The ball in this case reverts its direction of velocity therefore the velocity becomes opposite of what it was earlier and being a vector quantity it has a change in sign and hence the difference between the final and the initial values is largest than the cases in which one of the velocity is zero.

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1185 N

Explanation:

From Newton’s second law of motion,  

F=ma where m= mass of motorcycle, a is acceleration of the motorcycle and F=Force

Net force acting on motorcycle F_{net} is given by  F_{net}=F-f

Where F is force acting on motorcycle and f is frictional force

Substituting F-f for F_{net}

F_{net}=ma hence  ma= F- f Substituting a with 3, m with 245Kg and f with 450N as provided

245*3= F- 450

F=245*3 +450= 1185 N
