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

Explanation:

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.

When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

4. A 62.0-kg person, standing on the diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed

Alekssandra [29.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as

$\Delta P = F\Delta t$

F = Force

$\Delta t = Time$

At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as

$P = m \Delta v$

Where

m = Mass

$\Delta v =$ Change in velocity

Our values are given as

$\Delta t=1.65s$

By equating the two equations we can find the Force,

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

$F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$F = \frac{62(1.1-5.5)}{1.65}$

Therefore, the net average force will be:

$F = - 165N$

The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.

Check all that apply. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a current-carrying wire due to a magnetic field is given by

$F=ILB sin \theta$ (1)

where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the strength of the magnetic field, $\theta$ the angle between the direction of the field and the direction of the current.

Also, B, I and F in the formula are all perpendicular to each other. (2)

According to eq.(1), we see that the statement:

"The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines."

is correct, because when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field, $\theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta = 1$ and the force is maximum.

Moreover, according to (2), we also see that the statements

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field. "

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current. "

because F (the force) is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current.
