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.

If a train travels 80 miles north, 60 miles east, what’s the magnitude of its total displacement? Find the solution by drawing a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

100 miles North East.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X represents the magnitude of the total displacement of the train.

Thus, we can obtain the value of X by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

X² = 80² + 60²

X² = 6400 + 3600

X² = 10000

Take the square root of both side

X = √10000

X = 100 miles.

Therefore, the magnitude of the total displacement of the train is 100 miles North East.

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km

y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km

y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km

tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71

\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o north of east

Describe the two main ways that energy travels through the Sun.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The energy are traveled through the sun in two ways that are:

  • By the radiation
  • By the convection

As, the energy are first traveled outward from the core of the sun and then it get entered in the zone of the radiation and this zone is known as radiative zone in the surface of the sun.In the radiation process some amount of the hydrogen particle are combined and then releases the energy. And the convection is the process of conversion of one form of energy to another form.
