Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1,500 kg car that is moving at a speed of 42 km/h

1 answer:

4 0

Data:
KE (Kinetic Energy) = ? (Joule)
m (mass) = 1500 Kg
v (speed) = 42 Km/h
converting to m/s (42 / 3.6), we have: v (speed) = 11.6 m/s

Formula:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$

Solving:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*(11.6)^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*134.56$
$K_{E} = \frac{201840}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{K_{E} = 100920\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:3,600 Newtons

Explanation:

The net force acting on the car is

3×10^3squared

Newtons.

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,⇒F=ma

Substituting the above given values we get,F=(1500kg) (2.0m /s^2 squared)=3000 N=3×10^3 squared N.

N=newtons

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$

A small solid sphere and a small thin hoop are rolling along a horizontal surface with the same translational speed when they en

torisob [31]

This situation has a basis such that the solid sphere and the hoop has the same mass. The analysis could be made<span> backwards . The ball will decelerate fastest, so not roll as high. The sphere will accelerate faster, but this also means it decelerates faster on the way up. Hence the answer is the hoop if the masses are equal </span>

Meter #1 can measure voltage to within 0.1 volts. Meter #2 can measure voltage to within 0.01 volts.

Ann [662]

Meter #2 is more precise.

There's no information here that tells us which meter is more accurate.
