Josie ran at an average speed of 16 m/s. if her mass 10 kg, what was her kinetic energy as she crosses her finish line?

I have to be honest with you . . . It's not possible to determine the answer with only the information given in the question.

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared).

Josie's Kinetic energy as she crosses the finish line is

(1/2) (her mass) (her speed as she crosses the finish line)².

That's (5 kg) x (her speed as she crosses the finish line)² .

But read the question again.

WE DON'T know her speed as she crosses the finish line.

The question only tells us her average speed for the whole race.

We can be confident that her Average Kinetic Energy was

(5 kg) (16 m/s)² = 1,280 Joules.

But we can't tell what her kinetic energy was as she crossed the finish line, beause we don't know what her speed was at that instant.

Answer: 1280 J

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\KE= \frac{1}{2} (10 kg)(16 m/s)^2\\=1280 J$

If a hot air balloon is seen rising above the top of a hill, what is the top of the hill called? Question 2 options: delta point

timofeeve [1]

If a hot air balloon has shown rising above the top of a hill, the top of the hill is considered as a reference point.

<h2>Reference Point:</h2>

It is a point that is used to standardize a experiment. The reference point is a constant point.

In the given problem:

The hot air balloon is rising above the top of the hill. Here, the hill is a standard point that has a fixed (constant) height.

Some other reference points are the top of the Eifel Tower or a famous shop which a person use to denote a certain distance.

Therefore, "If a hot air balloon has shown rising above the top of a hill" the top of the hill is considered as a reference point.

An automobile is sitting on a hill which is 20 m higher than ground level. Find the mass of the automobile if it contains 362,60

mr Goodwill [35]

M= ?
g=9.8 m/s (2)
h=20 m

Eg=362,600 J
Eg/mg

362,600 J/9.8 m/s (2) x 20 m
=1,850 m

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Cannot be compressed and retains its shape State B: Highly compressible Which

telo118 [61]

Answer:

State A = piece of metal; State B = air

Explanation:

For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.

Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape

Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape

Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.

Knowing this State A has to be solid. Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer. Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
