A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?

VLD [36.1K]

The initial kinetic energy of the car is
$E_1 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = 1.9 \cdot 10^3 J$

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: $v_2 = \frac{v_1}{2}$
so, the new kinetic energy is
$E_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}$
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
$E_2 = \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J$

An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

$The \ weight, W =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N$

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

$W_1 =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N$

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.
