8. A car moving at 35 m/s has 675 joules of KE. What is the mass of the car?

1 answer:

6 0

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion while potential energy is the energy of a body at rest.
Kinetic energy is given by E=1/2MV² where M is the mass of the body while V is the velocity of the body.
To get mass we can use the formula M= 2 Ek/V² (Making M the subject)
hence mass = (2 ×675)÷35²
= 1.102 kg

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

From the following statements about mechanical waves, identify those that are true for transverse mechanical waves only, those t

Dominik [7]

'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.

'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.

'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.

As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.

So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.

And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.
