The correct answer is:
<span>KE at 4 m/s less than KE at 6 m/s

In fact, the formula for the kinetic energy is:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2
<span>where m is the mass of the person and v his speed.

When the person is moving at 4 m/s, his kinetic energy is:
</span>K= \frac{1}{2} (80 kg)(4 m/s)^2=640 J
instead, when he's moving at 6 m/s, his kinetic energy is:
K= \frac{1}{2}(80 kg)(6 m/s)^2=1440 J

So, the kinetic energy at 4 m/s is less than the kinetic energy at 6 m/s.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

α = 3.27 rad/s²

No

Explanation:

Given that

 L= 3 m

Lets take mass of tree = m kg

The torque to mass m =  m g .L

The mass moment of inertia of tree ,I

I = mL² kg.m²

We know that

τ = I α

 m g .L = mL² .α

α= g/L

Now by putting the value

\alpha =\dfrac{ 9.81}{ 3}\ rad/s^2

α = 3.27 rad/s²

No we can find the mass of the from the above information because angular acceleration is not depend on the mass of tree.
