A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can you say about the kinetic energy of the spaceship?

A. The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.

B. The kinetic energy decreases as it is converted into speed.

C. The kinetic energy remains the same because speed and kinetic energy are not
related.

D. There is no way to know what happens to the kinetic energy.

A. The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Now, kinetic energy of a moving body is given by;

KE = 1/2 mv^2

Where;

m = mass of the body

v = velocity (speed) of the body

It follows that if the mass of the spaceship is constant, a sudden increase in speed leads to a corresponding increase in the kinetic energy of the spaceship in accordance with the relationship show above.

the grams   of   barium that   are in   2.3 x 10^23   atoms of barium   is   52.4 g (answer c)

    calculation

mass = moles   of ba   x molar   mass of ba

  molar mass of ba from periodic table=   137.3 g/mol

  use the   avogadro's law   constant   to   calculate the moles of barium

  that   is     1 mole =   6.02   x 10^23 atoms

                    ? moles = 2.3 x 10^23   atoms

by cross   multiplication

=(1 mole   x 2.3x 10^23 atoms)   / 6.02   x10^23 atoms)=   0.382   moles

mass   is therefore = 137.3   g/mol x 0.382 mol = 52.4 ( answer c)

explanation:

i believe it is c.) 1575 j.
