Kinetic of automobile

Mass m = 1,250 Kg;         V = 11 m/s

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mV²

               K.E = 1/2(1,250 Kg)(11 m/s)²

               K.E = 75,625 J

Speed required for insect to have the same kinetic energy as automobile

Mass of insect = 0.72 g convert to Kg   m = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ Kg

K.E = 1/2 mV²  Derive V =?

 V = 2 K.E/m

 V = √2(75,625 J)/7.2 x 10⁻4 Kg

 V = √2.1 x 10⁸ m²/s²

 V = 14,491.34 m/s  (velocity of insect)

An object weigh 40N in air ,weigh 20N when submerged in water,and 30N when submerged in a liquid of unknown liquid density.what
muminat

Answer:

The density is  \rho_u  =500 kg /m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The weight in air is  W_a =  40 \ N

     The weight in water is  W_w =  20 \ N

     The weight in a unknown liquid is  W_u  =  30  \ N

Now according to Archimedes principle the weight of the object in water is mathematically represented as

       W_w =  W_a -m _w g

Where  m_w is he mass of the water displaced

 substituting value

       m_w g  =  40 -20

      m_w g  = 20 \ N --- (1)

Now according to Archimedes principle the weight of the object in unknown  is mathematically represented as

       W_u =  W_a -m _u g

Where  m_u is he mass of the unknown liquid  displaced

 substituting value

       m_u g  =  40 -30

      m_u g  = 10 \ N ---(2)

dividing equation 2 by equation 1

      \frac{m_ug}{m_wg}  =  \frac{10}{20}

     \frac{m_u}{m_w}  =  \frac{1}{2}

=>  m_u =  0.5 m_w

Now since the volume of water and liquid displaced are the same then

      \rho _u =  0.5 \rho_w

This because

         density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

So if  volume is constant

         mass = constant * density

Where \rho_u is the density of the liquid

     and  \rho_ w is the density of water which is a constant with a value \rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3

So

        \rho_u  = 1000*0.5

        \rho_u  =500 kg /m^3

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. what would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles? 10,000 kg • m/s 20,000 kg • m
babunello [35]
It would definitely be 40,000 <span>kg • m/s because if you double either the mass or velocity and the other stays the same, the momentum will double no matter what.</span>

Kelly's mother is taking her temperature to see if she has a fever. Which unit of measurement could be used to measure Kelly's b
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

To measure a temperature, you have degrees with Farenheight or Celsius. Meters are measured with a meter stick while grams and kilograms are measurments for weight.

Therefore, degrees Celsius is your answer.

Best of Luck to you!

Describe the changes in the velocity of a ball thrown straight up into the air. then describe the changes in the ball's accelera
expeople1 [14]

There is a displacement. Just because the ball is thrown up, and not crossways, doesn't mean its location is not moving. Remember, positive displacement is together a displacement in the direction east, right, and up.  The velocity is the distance over time. To compute that, you must look how high the ball moved before falling back down. Acceleration is expected to be constant at 9.80m/s^2. That is the force of gravity. But remember that you are disregarding air friction when you are computing the acceleration.
