Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Mass = 100 kg
Speed = 10 km/s = 10,000 m/s
Speed squared = 100,000,000 m²/s²

1/2 (M)(V²) = 1/2 (100) (100,000,000) = 5,000,000,000 joules  (5 x 10⁹ J)

That's  5 billion joules.

That's the amount of energy a 100-watt light bulb uses in  579 days.

KE=1/2 x mass x speed^2
Substitute:

KE=1/2 x 100 x 10000^2
5000000000J of KE
So either <u>5 gigajoules</u>
Or <u>5x10^9J</u>

What is Vatiable Velocity?​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example: A rotating fan at a constant speed has variable velocity, because of continuous change in direction.

The component of the external magnetic field along the central axis of a 78-turn circular coil of radius 34.0 cm decreases from
grigory [225]

Answer:

Induced current, I = 18.88 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 78

Radius of the circular coil, r = 34 cm = 0.34 m

Magnetic field changes from 2.4 T to 0.4 T in 2 s.

Resistance of the coil, R = 1.5 ohms

We need to find the magnitude of the induced current in the coil. The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\dfrac{d\phi}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux,

And \phi=BA

\epsilon=-NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

\epsilon=-78\times \pi (0.34)^2\dfrac{(0.4-2.4)}{2}

\epsilon=28.32\ V

Using Ohm's law, \epsilon=I\times R

Induced current, I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

I=\dfrac{28.32}{1.5}

I = 18.88 A

So, the magnitude of the induced current in the coil is 18.88 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
