Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.
Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.
Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to thr point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal volocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat surfaced object is much greater than on a small, streamlined object.
Answer:
The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:
a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2
The distance is given by the following formula:
S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)
S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m
The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.
