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!

If a plane has an airspeed of 40 m/s and is experiencing a crosswind of 30 m/s, what is its ground speed in m/s?
Anon25 [30]
<h2>Answer:50ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Let v_{a} be the airspeed.

Let v_{w} be the cross wind speed.

We know that,ground speed is the vector sum of airspeed and cross wind speed and airspeed is perpendicular to cross wind speed.

If v_{1} and v_{2} are two perpendicular vectors,the resultant vector has the magnitude \sqrt{|v|_{1}^{2}+|v|_{2}^{2}}

Given,

v_{a}=40ms^{-1}\\v_{c}=30ms^{-1}

So,the ground speed is \sqrt{40^{2}+30^{2}}=\sqrt{2500}=50ms^{-1}

Why isn't direct current used in transformers​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

No, it will not and this has a historical importance. The reason is that transformers work via induction of electrical forces by changes in magnetic fields, so the constat fields produced by dc currents won't work at all

In this model, the velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is the velocity of the craft at position 4. at position 1, the direc
Free_Kalibri [48]

1. The velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is greater than the velocity of the craft at position 4.

This is due the gravity field of the Earth is used to accelerate the craft. This is true when in a specific point the direction of the movement of the craft is the same direction of the movement of the planet.

In this case the craft will be “catched” by the Earth’s gravitational field, making the craft  to enter a circular orbit.

2. At point 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of the gravitational force between earth and the spacecraft.

As explained in the first answer, this is the exact point where the trajectory of the spacecraft enters into a circular orbit because of the attraction due gravity of the Earth and therefore changes its direction.

3. Position 3 represents the orbital path of Earth

Being this the orbital path of the Earth and considering the trajectory of the craft, the condition of accelerating the craft is accomplished. If the orbital path of the Earth were the opposite, the effect on the craft would be braking.

Note all of these is related to the gravitational assistance, this consists in a maneuver in which the energy of the gravitational field of a planet or satellite is used to obtain an acceleration or braking of the probe or craft, changing its trajectory.
