Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass)*(velocity)^2

ke = 1/2 (1500kg) (17m/s)^2
ke = 216750 kg*m^2/s^2 = 216750 Joules

(sorry, I don't know significant figures. but this is otherwise the correct answer with the right units. hope this helps!! :))

a ball of mass 0.80 kg moving at a speed of 2.5 m/s along a straight line collided with a mass 2.5 kg which was initially statio
Likurg_2 [28]

The speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the ball, m₁ = 0.8 kg
  • speed of the ball, u₁ = 2.5 m/s
  • mass of the object at rest, m₂ = 2.5 kg
  • final velocity of the object at rest, v₂ = 1 m/s

Let the final velocity of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

(0.8 x 2.5) + (2.5 x 0) = (0.8)v₁  +  2.5(1)

2 = 2.5 + (0.8)v₁

-0.5 = (0.8)v₁

v_1 = \frac{-0.5}{0.8} \\\\v_1 = -0.625 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

Which characteristic does an object with a constant acceleration always have?
Alexus [3.1K]

By definition, speed is the integral of acceleration with respect to time.

We have then:

v = \int\limits^t_0 {a} \, dt

As the acceleration is constant, then integrating we have:

v = a*t + vo

Where,

vo: constant of integration that corresponds to the initial velocity

We observe then that the speed varies linearly when the acceleration is constant .

Therefore, for constant acceleration, the velocity is changing.

Answer:

an object with a constant acceleration always have:

A. changing velocity

Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0

Given the function:

p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in [0,\infty).

(2)

\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1

The function p(x) satisfies the conditions for a probability density function.
