If they are identical, then their masses are the same. The speeds are the same. KE has no direction.
Total KE = 1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 mv^2 = mv^2

How much centripetal force is needed to make a body of mass 0.5kg to move in a circle of radius 50cm with speed 3ms^-1 ?

scoundrel [369]

Centripetal force is given by F= mv²/r.

Given: m = 0.5 kg, v = 3 m/s, r = 0.5 m

Putting values,

F= mv²/r = 0.5× 3²/0.5 = 9 N

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

b $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

substituting values given in the question

=> $k = \frac{16}{0.2}$

=> $k = 80 \ N /m$

Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$
