Answer:increasing any of them, either mass or speed by 1unit will cause an increase in energy,

Explanation:

By increasing any of them, either mass or speed will cause an increase in energy.

Because kinetic energy is proportional to mass and also directly proportional to velocity

A car enters a level, unbanked semi-circular hairpin turn of 100 m radius at a speed of 28 m/s. The coefficient of friction betw

meriva

Answer:

As 28m/s = 28m/s

Explanation:

r = the radius of the curve

m = the mass of the car

μ = the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = normal reaction

When rounding the curve, the centripetal acceleration is

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$

therefore

$\mu mg = m \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\\\ \mu = \frac{v^{2}}{rg}$

$v = \sqrt{\mu rg}$

$\mu = \sqrt{0.8 \times 100\times9.8} \\\\= 28m/s$

As 28m/s = 28m/s

A pan hangs from a 50 cm spring. When a 10 kg mass is placed in the pan, it stretches the spring 6 cm. What is a function rule l

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

$F = -kx$

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring

k is the spring constant.

negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.

In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

$F=mg$

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

$mg=-kx$

computing it for x,

$-x=mg/k$

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector $\vec{F_2}$ points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector $\vec{F_1}$ points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector $\vec{R}$ points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of 400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

$\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N$

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

A wave will "break" because ________. a wave will "break" because ________. the sediment load of water is greater near the shore

vodka [1.7K]

A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.

What is the average speed of a plane that flies 7,200 km in 9 hours?

Mnenie [13.5K]

First of all, the formula for speed is;
Speed=distance/time
From the question, you have;
distance=7,200km
Time=9 hours
So that will be;
Speed=7200/9
When divided, you will have;
Speed=800
The unit for speed is km/hr or m/s. So that will be;
Speed=800km/hr
Hope that helped, have a nice day
