How is kinetic energy of an object determined?

Physics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
6 0

The formula for kinetic energy is

                     KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

How you measure the object's mass and speed is up to you.
You'd need different methods for different objects, and in some
cases, you'd need quite a bit of ingenuity.

A current of 3.6-A flows through a conductor. Calculate how much charge passed through and cross-section of the conductor in 25s
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

90 C

Explanation:

Electric current: This can be defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. This can be expressed mathematically as,

I = dQ/dt

dQ = Idt

∫dQ = ∫Idt

Q = It................................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, I = current, t = time.

Given: I = 3.6 A, t = 25 s.

Substituting into equation 1,

Q = 3.6(25)

Q = 90 C.

Hence the amount of charge passing through the cross section of the conductor = 90 C

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
