Answer:
C
Explanation:
The two things that make it so objects stop is gravity and friction.
Answer:
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;
K1 = 1/2mv²
For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;
K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²
K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)
K2 = (3m)(8v²)
K2 = 24mv²
To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;
K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²
K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)
K2/K1 = 48
K2 = 48K1
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
The distance and parallax are inversely related. We can find the distance using the following equation:
where d is distance and p is parallax.
We are given the parallax of the comet relative to the moon, and we are looking for the distance to the comet relative to the moon's distance, so wee can plug in the following value:
The distance is 40 times as far away as the moon.
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
