Answer:

The change in kinetic energy is twice the change in momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

While the kinetic energy is given by

We want to check how these two quantities change when the speed of the object doubles, therefore when the new velocity is

For the momentum, we have

So, the momentum doubles.

For the kinetic energy, we have

So, the kinetic energy quadruples.

Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is twice the change in momentum.

PolarNik [594]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The evolutionary stages for the formation of planets from earliest to latest will be:

1. Dust keeps matter inside the disk cool enough for planet formation to start

2. Dust grains form condensation nuclei on which surrounding atoms condense to form small clumps of matter.

3. Small clumps of matter stick together via the process of accretion to form planetesimals a few hundred kilometers in diameter.

4. Planetesimals begin to accrete, forming protoplanets.

5. A collection of a few planet-sized protoplanets remain in a fairly cleared out disk around the star

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.
