A car is moving at a initial velocity of 20 meters per second accelerates at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared for 4 secon

Answered using calculus.
Antidifferentiated the acceleration to get velocity. Added variable c as we do not know if there was an extra number there yet.
Knowing that when time is 0, the velocity is 20, we can substitute those numbers into the equation and find that c = 20.
Now we have full velocity equation: v = 1.5t + 20
Now we substitute 4 into t to find out the velocity after 4 seconds. This gives us the final answer of 26m/s

1. Which has more kinetic energy, a 40 kg cheetah running at 25 m/s or a 4,000 kg elephant moving at 2 m/s? How much more energy
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1. The elephant has more kinetic energy at this speed and mass. It has 4,500 J more KE.

2. The elephant would have to go at a speed of 2.5 m/s to reach the same KE as the cheetah.

Explanation:

You would use the formula KE=1/2mv^2.

This formula would be filled in and completed twice, once for the elephant and once for the cheetah.

Cheetah:

KE = 1/2 (40) (25) ^2

KE = 12,500 J

Elephant:

KE = 1/2 (4,000) (2) ^2

KE = 8,000 J

This shows that the cheetah has more KE.

Then you would subtract the elephants amount of J from the cheetahs to find the difference.

Difference = 12,500 J - 8,000 J

Difference = 4,500 J

I hoped this helped with the first part :)

For the second part:

To find the speed the elephant would have to run you would fill in and complete the equation once more with different distance results.

KE = 1/2 (4,000) (2.5) ^2

KE= 12,500 J

If Johnny won a 300 meter race in 40 seconds, his speed would be ?
irina1246 [14]

Formula: s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

Solve using the values we are given.

s = 300/40

s = 7.5m/s

Best of Luck!

3. A ball is dropped from the roof of a building 55 meters tall. What is the approximate time of fall?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

3.35 seconds

Explanation:

Use one of the equations of accelerated motion:

Δd = v1Δt+1/2aΔt^2

and rearrange for Δt which is time

Δt = √(2Δd)/a

now we can substitute in the values

a= 9.8 (acceleration due to gravity) and Δd= 55 as that is the height of the building

Δt = √(2*55)/9.8

Δt = 3.3503s

Suppose 8.41 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expand adiabatically, and its temperature decreases from 395 to 279 K. Determine (a)
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) W=12166.20876 J

b) U= -12166.20876 J

Explanation:

No. of moles, n = 8.41

Change of temperature, ΔT = T1 - T2

                                         = 395 - 279

                                         = 116 K

For monatomic gas, γ = 5/3

γ -1 = 2 /3

Solution:

(a)

Work done,W= \frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)

plugging values we get

W= \frac{8.314\times8.41}{2/3}(116)

Ans:   12166.20876 J

Work done, W = + 12166.20876 J

(b)

From first law of thermodynamics, dQ = U + W

but, dQ = 0 ( adiabatic process)

Hence, U = - W

                 = - 12166.20876 J

Ans:

Change in internal energy, U = - 12166.20876 J
