K.E. = mv² / 2
Here, m = 40 Kg
v = 3 m/s

Substitute their values,
K.E. = 40 * (3)² / 2
K.E. = 40 * 9 / 2
K.E. = 360/2
K.E. = 180 J

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Kinetic energy= 1/2mv^2
m=40kg
v= 3m/s
K.E.=1/2 (40)(3)^2
K.E.=20× 9
K.E.=180 J

A particle moves in a straight line and has acceleration given by a(t) = 12t + 10. Its initial velocity is v(0) = −5 cm/s and it

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The position function is $s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration $a =12t+10$

Initial velocity $v_{0} = -5\ cm/s$

Initial displacement $s_{0}=9\ cm$

We know that,

The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the particle.

$a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}$

The velocity is the rate of change of position of the particle

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We need to calculate the the position

The acceleration is

$a_{t} = 12t+10$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt} = 12t+10$

$a_{t}=dv=(12t+10)dt$

On integration both side

$\int{dv}=\int{(12t+10)}dt$

$v_{t}=6t^2+10t+C$

At t = 0

$v_{0}=0+0+C$

$C=-5$

Now, On integration again both side

$v_{t}=\int{ds_{t}}=\int{(6t^2+10t-5)}dt$

$s_{t}=2t^{3}+5t^2-5t+C$

At t = 0

$s_{0}=0+0+0+C$

$C=9$

$s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9$

Hence, The position function is $s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9$ .

7. You start to walk toward the east towards home at a constant speed of 4 km/hr. At the same time, Someone else leaves your hom

amm1812

A) position time graph for both is shown

here one of the graph is of lesser slope which means it is moving with less speed while other have larger slope which shows larger speed

At one point they intersects which is the point where they both will meet

B) Let the two will meet after time "t"

now we can say that

if they both will meet after time "t"

then the total distance moved by you and other person will be same as the distance between you and home

so it is given as

$v_1t + v_2t = d$

$4*t + 28*t = 3.2 km$

$t = \frac{3.2}{32} = 0.1 hr$

so they will meet after t = 6 min

so from position time graph we can see that two will meet after t = 6 min where at this position two graphs will intersect

An object starts from rest, and accelerates at 2m/s2 for 10s. How far has it gone in that time

blagie [28]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

u=0;t=10sec;a=2m/s²

$s = 0(10) + \frac{1}{2}(2 \times {10}^{2} )$

s=10²;100m

A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The ratio is $\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a

which makes the acceleration of each car a

From the question we are told that

Considering the second car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F_{T2} = ma$

Considering the first car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma$

=> $F_{T1} -ma = ma$

=> $F_{T1} = 2 ma$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{ma} = 2$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2$
