Why does a lorry travelling at 30mph have more kinetic energy than a car travelling at the same velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because it has more mass

Explanation:

To understand this, think about the equation of kinetic energy

KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Kinetic energy depends on both the velocity (v) as well as the mass (m).

Because a lorry is bigger and heavier than a car, it will have more mass. With more mass, at the same velocity the lorry with have more kinetic energy.

A solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)

16.5 = mass x 1.7

mass = \frac{16.5}{1.7} = 9.7 kg

Assessing and monitoring your fluid levels will help you optimize your car's _______.
juin [17]

Answer:

A. fuel mileage and longevity          

Explanation:

           For a person purchasing a car, car longevity is one of the main concern. They are also interested in many things such as maximum mileage and service life.

           By properly monitoring and assessing few measures one can maintain the efficiency and longevity of the car. One such thing is by monitoring the liquid levels of the car. Certain liquids like the coolant or radiator water level should be well maintain in proper level in order to run the car economically.

Thus by doing this, one can optimize the car's longevity and the fuel mileage.

Hence the correct option is (A).

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
Mashutka [201]

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
