The potential energy of a catapult was completely converted into kinetic energy by releasing a small stone with a mass of 20 gra

ms. The velocity of the stone when it reached the target was 15.0 meters/second. What was the value of the kinetic energy of the stone when it reached the target? A. 2.05 joules B. 2.25 joules C. 3.20 joules D. 4.43 joules

Answer : The correct option is, 2.25 joules.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of the stone = 20 g

Velocity of the stone = 15 m/s

Formula used for kinetic energy is :

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

K.E = kinetic energy of the stone

m = mass of the stone

v = velocity of the stone

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the kinetic energy of the stone.

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times (20g)\times (15m/s)^2

K.E=2250gm^2/s^2=2.25Kgm^2/s^2=2.25J

Therefore, The kinetic energy of the stone is, 2.25 joules.

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram

20 grams = 0.02 kilogram


Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²


                          (1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =


                                (0.01)  x  (225)  =  2.25 joules

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1 x 105, people. The number of atoms in a grain of iron is about 1 x 1018. Would you need 1 x 
nata0808 [166]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1 x 10^13 stadiums

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given that;

1 stadium holds = 1 × 10^5 people

Number of iron atoms is 1 × 10^18 atoms

Assuming the stadium would carry an equivalent number of atoms as people.

Then, 1 stadium will carry 1 × 10^5 atoms

Therefore,

To calculate the number of stadiums that can hold 1 × 10^18 atoms we divide the total number of atoms by the number of atoms per stadium.

Number of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Number of atoms per stadium

                                  = 1 × 10^18 atoms ÷ 1 × 10^5 atoms/stadium

                                   = 1 × 10^13 Stadiums

Thus, 1 × 10^18 atoms would occupy 1 × 10^13 stadiums

Which process contributes to the formation of tornados?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Warm air rises, resulting in a decrease air pressure.

Explanation:

Tornado is the rapid and violent rotation of column of air which move from the thunderstorm to the ground.

It is formed when there is collision between warm and cold air. The cold air which is more sense than the warm air is pushed over the warm air which result in thunderstorms. The warm air then rises which result in decrease air pressure causing an updraft. The updraft then begin to rotate as there are variations in wind speeds and directions.
