Two identical cars are driving in opposite directions at the same speed. their kinetic energies have ____.

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for determining the kinetic energy of the system is,

KE = 0.5mv²

where m is the mass, v is velocity and KE is the kinetic energy. When both objects have the same mass, and velocity but different direction, they will have the same kinetic energy.

This is because the exponent in the velocity is squared cancelling out the effect of the sign appearing before the number.

A 39-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by $b$ ) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:

$\frac{dA}{dt}|_{b=36}=-571.2\, ft^2/s$

Explanation:

The Area of the triangle is given by $A=h\times b$ where $h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}$ (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and $b$ is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.

The area is then

$A=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}b$

The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\cdot b\right)$

$\implies \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\right)\cdot b+\frac{db}{dt}\cdot\sqrt{l^2-b^2}$

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\frac{d}{dt}(l^2-b^2)\cdot b+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$ Product rule

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot 2\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$ Chain rule

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}$

$\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{db}{dt}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\right)$

In here we can identify $b=36\, ft$ , $l=39$ and $\frac{db}{dt}=8\,ft/s$ .

The result is then

$\frac{dA}{dt}=8\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\cdot 36^2+\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\right)=-571.2\, ft^2/s$

Asbestos would most likely be found where in a house?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Asbestos would most likely be found <u>around pipes</u> in a house.

Asbestos is nan organic naturally occurring mineral.

Its composition is similar to thin fibers like crystals of of silicate mineral.

The fibers of Asbestos are so thin and microscopic that they liberate into the atmosphere due to erosion and other processes.

These tiny particles are considered harmful for health as they are carcinogenic in nature and causes mesothelioma.

Its melting point is between 400 to 1,040 °C and is available in blue, green, grey white and yellow color.
