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 cow wanders 30 m North, turns 22 degrees right of its original path, and wanders another 40 m. Find its total displacement.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:OB=58.3m

Explanation:

So here cow wanders 30m in north and turns 22 degrees in right side and moves 40m more, as shown in figure given.

now take the starting point as a origin such that cow moves in x-y co-ordinate axis.

As shown in figure length OA is the length when cow moves in north or y direction. Later she takes 22 degrees turn to right and moves 40m more.

So the final displacement is the length of cow from the origin that is length OB.

now co-ordinates of B are [40cos22°,40sin22°+30] i.e [37.084,44.984]

now displacement of cow= length of OB

                                           = \sqrt{[37.084]^{2}+[44.984]^{2}  }

                                           =\sqrt{3398.78}

                                     OB =58.3

Four charges are on the four corners of a square. Q1 = +5μC, Q2 = -10μC, Q3 = +5μC, Q4 = -10μC. The side length of the square is
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation

E = \frac{K\times Q}{d^2}

Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.

The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that

equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically  opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two  charges will be zero.  

On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero

Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero

How much energy will it take to increase the temperature of 200 milliliters if water by 12 degrees Celsius?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. Lead will warm up and cool down fastest because it doesn't take much energy to change its temperature.
