Answer: 16J

Explanation:

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ X 2 X 16

K.E = 16

The kinetic energy of the ball is 16 J.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Kinetic energy is the form of energy exhibited by a body when it is in motion. The kinetic energy will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as to the square of the speed of the body at which it is moving. So the mathematical representation of kinetic energy of any object is

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times(v)^{2}$

In the present case, the ball is the object with mass of around 2 kg and it is moving with the speed of about 4 m/s. So, the kinetic energy exhibited by the ball during its motion is

$\text {Kinetic energy of the ball}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(4)^{2}=16 \mathrm{J}$

So, the kinetic energy exhibited by the ball is 16 J.

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.

Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

$1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A$

and solving for t we find

$t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T$

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

$1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A$

And by solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T$
