Given:

The mass of the halfback is m = 107 kg

The speed of the halfback is v = 8 m/s

To find the momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of the halfback is

$\begin{gathered} p=\text{ mv} \\ =\text{ 107}\times8 \\ =\text{ 856 kg m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the momentum of the halfback is 856 kg m/s

An object thrown in the air has a velocity after t seconds that can be described by v(t) = -9.8t + 24 (in meters/second) and a h

marin [14]

Answer and Explanation: Kinetic energy is related to movement: it is the energy an object possesses during the movement. it is calculated as:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

For the object thrown in the air:

$K=\frac{1}{2}.2.[v(t)]^{2}$

$K=(-9.8t+24)^{2}$

$K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576$

Kinetic energy of the object as a function of time: $K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576$

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in relation to other objects. It is calculated as:

$U=mgh$

For the object thrown in the air:

$U=9.8.2.h(t)$

$U=9.8.2.(-4.9t^{2}+24t+60)$

$U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176$

Potential energy as function of time: $U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176$

Total kinetic and potential energy, also known as mechanical energy is

TME = $96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576$ + ( $-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176$ )

TME = 1752

The expression shows that total energy of an object thrown in the air is constant and independent of time.

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

seraphim [82]

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
