How does the kinetic energy from the forward motion of a car traveling at 16 m/s

Physics

The kinetic energy in the first case is 4 times more than the second case.

Hence, option D)It is 4 times greater is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Kinetic Energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is simply a form of energy a particle or object possesses due to its motion.

It is expressed as;

K = (1/2)mv²

Where m is mass of the object and v is its velocity.

Given that;

  • For the first case, velocity v = 16m/s
  • For the second case, velocity = 8m/s
  • Let the mass of the car be m

For the first case, kinetic energy of the car will be;

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2) × m × (16m/s)²

K = (1/2) × m × 256m²/s²

K = mass × 128m²/s²

For the second case, kinetic energy of the car will be;

K = (1/2)mv²

K = (1/2) × m × (8m/s)²

K = (1/2) × m × 64m²/s²

K = mass × 32m²/s²

Comparing the kinetic energy of the car with the same mass but different velocity, we can see that the kinetic energy in the first case is 4 times more than the second case.

Hence, option D)It is 4 times greater is the correct answer.

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?
Naddik [55]

Hey there!

Your answer: Spilling breaker

Spilling breaker usually occurs when a beach or ocean is flat, and as the waves of the wind continues to happen, slowly the region would eventually become a slope.

It's almost like play-dough. Let's say that we set a perfect flat surface of play-dough on the table. As we continue slide our hands one direction, doesn't the play dough have more on one side than the other? It eventually contains a slope if you add enough from the first place.

Your answer: Spilling breaker

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s
liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Vertical motion of John : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
