Question

What speed would a fly with the mass of 0.55 g need in order to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile in the term 19

Answer 1

The question does not provide enough information to complete the answer, so I'll assume the needed data to help you to solve your own problem

Answer:

The fly should need to move at 9,534.6 m/s to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

Is the capacity of a body to do work due to its speed and is computed by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We are not given enough data to compare the kinetic energy of the fly with that of the automobile. We'll assume the following characteristics:  

$m_a=500\ kg$

$v_a=10\ m/s$

So its kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_a=\frac{(500)10^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle K_a=25,000\ J$

The mass of the fly is  

$m_f=0.55\ gr=0.00055\ kg$

To have the same kinetic as the automobile:

$\displaystyle \frac{m_fv_f^2}{2}=25,000$

Solving for $v_f$

$\displaystyle v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(25,000))}{m_f}}$

$\displaystyle v_f=\sqrt{\frac{50,000}{0.00055}}$

$v_f=9,534.6\ m/s$

The fly should need to move at 9,534.6 m/s to have the same kinetic energy as the automobile
