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.

Neko [114]

Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

$v = \lambda \times f$
$1250 = \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters$

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = $e^{kt}$

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀ = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1 = $e^{-0.01t}$

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

Calculate two stars appear to you to have the same brightness. if star a is 7.00 light-years away from you, while star b is 15.0

vagabundo [1.1K]

It is eight times more than the star A.

<h3>What is luminosity and on which it depends?</h3>

The luminosity of an object is a measure of its intrinsic brightness and is defined as the amount of energy the object emits in a fixed time.

luminousity depends upon the two factors are:

1) The star's actual brightness

Some stars are naturally more luminous than others ,so the brightness level from one star to next star is significantly different.

2) The star distance from us

The more distance of an object the dimmer it appears.

Energy emitted = sAT⁴

where s is stefan constant

A is surface area and T is temperature .
