Charra [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

The kinetic energy for both objects is the same.

Explanation:

While in other cases the kinetic energies of two objects that have different masses might be different depending on their velocities, in this case both the 3 kg book and 5 kg bowling ball have the same kinetic energy.

This is because kinetic energy is calculated using the formula: K = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass and v represents the velocity of the object.

Since the book and the bowling ball are sitting still on the floor, their velocities are zero.  Hence, when we plug in 0 for velocity into the equation for kinetic energy, we will get that the kinetic energy is 0 for the book and the bowling ball.

Hope this helps!

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.

Ask Your Teacher Suppose the roller coaster below(h1 = 36 m, h2 = 13 m, h3 = 30) passes point A with a speed of 1.00 m/s. If the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

Explanation:

Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h

Where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = starting height of the roller coaster

we have the given variables

h₁ = 36 m,

h₂ = 13 m,

h₃ = 30 m

v₁ = 1.00 m/s

Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁

= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36

=353.66·m

Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂

= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m

The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered

Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction

Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (\frac{1}{5} × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m

v₂² = 216.82

v₂  =  14.72 m/s

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
