<span>The formula to find the kinetic energy of an object is:

KE = 1/2 MV^2

So if we plug in the information
1/2 x 1500 x 5^2
1/2 x 1500 x 25
750 x 25
Car 1 has a KE of 18750

If needed you can find the other three on your own. It'd be good practice.

The answer is car 1.</span>

Answer:

The first car has the most kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Given that,

For first car

Mass of car = 1500 kg

Speed of car = 5 m/s

For second car

Mass of car = 1300 kg

Speed of car = 3 m/s

For third car

Mass of car = 1200 kg

Speed of car = 2 m/s

For fourth car

Mass of car = 1400 kg

Speed of car = 4 m/s

The kinetic energy is defined as,

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where, m = mass

v = velocity

The kinetic energy of first car,

$K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}\times1500\times(5)^2$

$K.E=18750\ J$

The kinetic energy of second car,

$K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}\times1300\times(3)^2$

$K.E=5850\ J$

The kinetic energy of third car,

$K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}\times1200\times(2)^2$

$K.E=2400\ J$

The kinetic energy of fourth car,

$K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}\times1400\times(4)^2$

$K.E=11200\ J$

Therefore, The first car has 18750 J kinetic energy.

Hence, The first car has the most kinetic energy.

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|$

Where,

$f_2 =$ Final frequency

$f_1 =$ Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

$20= |f_2-240|$

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

$f_2 = 240 \pm 20$

The two possible values are

$f_2 = 220Hz$

$f_2 = 260Hz$

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o

Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

$m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.$

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Now the force of friction is $F_s=\mu*N,$ where $N$ is the normal force and from the diagram it is $F_y=mg*cos(\theta).$

Thus $F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).$

Therefore,

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Substituting the value for $F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta$ we get:

$F_{tot}= -38.63N.$

Now acceleration is simply

$a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.$

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

$d=\frac{1}{2} at^2$

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }$

Substitute the value of $d=0.50m$ and $a=7.7m/s$ and we get:

$t=0.36s.$

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of $a$ , because for this formula absolute value is needed.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76$

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

$v=1.76t$

The velocity is, by definition: $v=\frac{dx}{dt}$ , so

$dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}$ .

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

$11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s$

At this time the velocity is: $v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}$

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is $6.2225\frac{m}{s}$ , so:

$t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s$

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave? why?Give reason

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it. The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.
