The parachutes slow them down as they fall, therefore making it safer.

hope that helped

The parachute help go down slowly. it catches the air and slows it down

If the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

PLEASE HELP!!! When you lift a book from the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do, negative or positive? By lifting

Snowcat [4.5K]

When someone lifts a book from the ground, the work you use is positive. By lifting the book, you change it's energy and it's original place The book gains, kinectic energy.

1000 kg of water initially at 6 m/s runs through a hydro-generator. If the water leaves the generator at velocity of 4 m/s, and

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

8.00 kJ

Explanation:

The first thing is to determine what quantities are there.

the mass of water = 1 000 kg

initial velocity, u = 6 m/s

final velocity, v = 4 m/s

the generator is operating at 100 % efficiency, so there is no energy loss.

The kinetic energy, Ek is converted to electrical energy, therefore Ek = electrical energy.

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

Ek = 1/2 mv²

= 1/2×(1 000)× (4)²

= 8 000 J/s

= 8.00 kJ Ans

A long, solid rod 5.3 cm in radius carries a uniform volume charge density. Part A If the electric field strength at the surface

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$\rho = 7.35\times \muC/m^3$

Explanation:

given,

Radius of the solid rod, R = 5.3 cm

Electric field strength,E = 22 kN/C

Let the volume charge density be ρ

From Gauss law

$E = \dfrac{Rl}{2\epsilon_0}$

ε₀ is the permitivity of free space

R is the radius of the rod

and also,

$\rho=\dfrac{2E\epsilon_0}{R}$

ρ is the volume charge density

$\rho=\dfrac{2\times 22\times 10^{3}\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}{0.053}$

$\rho = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$\rho = 7.35\times \muC/m^3$

Hence, the volume charge density is equal to $\rho = 7.35\times \muC/m^3$
