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 cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0cm and a density of 650 kg /m³ floats on water. (b) What mass of lead should be p
schepotkina [342]

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

<h3>What mass of lead should be placed on the cube?</h3>

Given: Side of the cube (a) = 20cm

The density of the cube (ρc) = $$650 kg/m^3

a) Applying the force balance, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the cube

ρcgV = ρg × (Ax)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(650*(0.2 m)^3)=1000*(0.2 m)^2*x

x = 0.13

where x is the height of the cube in the water

$$A = a^2 is the area of the cross-section

ρ is the density of the water

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the height above the surface of the water would be

h = a − x

Substituting the values, then we get

h = 0.2 − 0.13

h = 0.07 m

b) The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water, therefore

ρcgV + mg = ρg × (V)

$(650*(0.2 m)^3)+m=1000*(0.2 m)^3

m = 2.8 kg

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor
Bess [88]

Answer:

a) The final velocity is 20 m/s when the large-mass object is the one moving initially.

b) The final velocity is 9.0 m/s when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Explanation:

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momenta of each object. Each momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p =  momentum.

m =  mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system is the following:

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = (m1 + m2) · v

Where:

m1 = mass of the bigger object.

v1 = velocity of the bigger object.

m2 = mass of the smaller object.

v2 = velocity of the smaller object.

v = final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

Solving the equation for the final velocity:

(m1 · v1 + m2 · v2)/ (m1 + m2) = v

a) Let´s calculate the final velocity when the bigger object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 29 m/s + 3.2 kg · 0)/(7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 20 m/s</u>

b) When the smaller object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 0 m/s + 3.2 kg · 29 m/s) / (7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 9.0 m/s</u>

A student who was training for a cross country race jogged for 2. 0 hours and covered a distance of 14. 0 kilometers. What was t
FinnZ [79.3K]

The average speed is 116.66m/s.

Given - The path traced is 14km , time for jogging is 2 hrs=120min

To find the average speed-

  1. Speed refers to the ease of the movement and degree of mobility as a result of force application.
  2. Due to this there is involvement of velocity.
  3. Journey of average speed is the cumulative of distances and time.
  4. Kinetic theory refers to the Boltzmann constant connecting to the standards of distance traversed.

calculations-

Speed= \frac{Distance}{Time}

Speed= 14 000 / 120

= 116.66m/s
