A small 17 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 3 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

KE=1/2mv^2

So from the given information me can plug in the values and find the KE or Kinetic Energy for the canoe;

KE=1/2(17kg)(3m/s)^2
KE=8.5kg*9m^2s^2= 76.5J of Kinetic Energy

Hope this helps, any questions please just ask. Thank you.

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed)²


A physics student on the river bank watching the canoe pass by

will say that it has 76.5 joules of kinetic energy, while another

student floating beside it in another boat will say that it has no

kinetic energy at all. Both students are correct.

Answer:

The acceleration of the player is - 4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

The given is:

1. The mass of the player is 55 kg

2. His initial speed is 4.6 m/s

3. The coefficient of the kinetic fraction between the player and the

    ground is 0.50

We need to find the player acceleration

According to Newton's Law

→ ∑ forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

There is only the friction force opposite to the motion

→ Friction force = μR

where μ is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction

→ The normal reaction R = mg

where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 55 kg , g = 9.8 m/s²

→ R = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N

→ ∑ F = - μR

→ - μR = m × a

→ μ = 0.5 , R = 539 N , m = 55

→ -(0.5)(539) = 55 × a

→ - 269.5 = 55 a

Divide both sides by 55

→ a = - 4.9 m/s²

The acceleration of the player is - 4.9 m/s²

A golfer imparts a speed of 29.0 m/s to a ball, and it travels the maximum possible distance before landing on the green. the te
Roman55 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of a golfer, u = 29 m/s

If it travels the maximum possible distance before landing. It means that it is projected at an angle of 45 degrees.

(a) We need to find the time spent by the ball in the air. It can be calculated by using second equation of motion.

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here,

a = -g

s = 0 (it is displacement and it is equal to 0 as the ball lands on the green).

So,

0=29\sin(45)t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\ (\text{Initial vertical component of velocity is taken})\\\\-4.9t^2+29\times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}t=0\\\\-4.9t^2+20.5t=0\\\\t=0,4.184\ s

So, it will take 4.184 seconds in the air.

(b) let x is the longest hole in one that the golfer can make if the ball does not roll when it hits the green. It can be given by :

x=vt\cos\theta\\\\x=29\times 4.184\times \cos(45)\\\\x=85.79\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
