Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a ball of mass 40g moving at a velocity of 4 metres per second

1 answer:

6 0

Given : A ball of mass 40 g moving at a velocity of 4 m/s.
To find : Calculate the kinetic energy in joules ?
Solution :
The kinetic energy formula is given by,

where, v is the velocity v=4 m/s
m is the mass m=40 g
Convert g into kg,

Substitute the values,

Therefore, the kinetic energy is 0.32 Joules.

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?

garri49 [273]

<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

$63.4^{\circ}$

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

$I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0$ (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle $\theta$ with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta$ (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

$I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$ (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

$I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0$

So we can rewrite (3) as

$\frac{1}{10}I_0 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$

From which we find

$cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}$

$cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}$

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is in the earths orbit.
