How is kinetic energy of an object determined?

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

Straight line parallel to time axis.

Explanation:

The slope of the position time graph gives the velocity.

As the man is still, that means the velocity is zero. So, the slope of the graph is zero. It is a straight line parallel to time axis.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s

Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 $m/s^2$

Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m

Time, t = ?

Using the equation of motion $s=ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ , we have

$4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0$

Using the quadratic formula $\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have

$t = 0.43$ s

In a single wire, how much current would be required to generate 1 Tesla magnetic field at a 2 meter distance away from the wire

aev [14]

Answer:

12.56 A.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of a conductor carrying current is give as

H = I/2πr ............................... Equation 1

Where H = Magnetic Field, I = current, r = distance, and π = pie

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 2πrH............... Equation 2

Given: H = 1 T, r = 2 m.

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

I = 2×3.14×2×1

I = 12.56 A.

Hence, the magnetic field = 12.56 A.

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potentialenergy func

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A= 148.92 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³

m= 0.04 kg

Now force in the x-direction

Fx= - dU/dx

U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³

dU/dx= 12 x

When x=0.4 m

dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8

So we can say that

Fx= - 4.8 N

From Newtons law

F= m a

- 4.8 = 0.04 x a

a = -120 m/s²

Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²

In y -direction

F= - dU/dy

U(x,y) = (6.00 )x² - (3.75 )y ³

dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²

When y = 0.56 m

dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56

dU/dy = - 3.52

So we can say that force in y -direction

F= 3.52 N

F= m a'

3.52 = 0.04 x a'

a'=88.2 m/s²

acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²

The resultant acceleration

$A=\sqrt{a^2+a'^2}$

$A=\sqrt{120^2+88.2^2}$

A= 148.92 m/s²
