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.

What determines an object’s thermal energy
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

  • The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

  • If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>I</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em>:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

  • The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

  1. number of molecules in the object
  2. temperature of the object.
  3. thermal energy it has.

The average speed of a greyhound bus from lansing to detroit is 104.5 km/h. on the return trip from detroit to lansing the avera
Nitella [24]
The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is 
v_1 = 104.5 km/h
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
v_2 =56.2 km/h

The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:
v= \frac{v_1+v_2}{2}= \frac{104.5+56.2}{2}=80.35 km/h
