A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?

The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J

Gennadij [26K]

268.6567 mph  is its velocity when it crosses the finish line

d=(v1+v2 /2) x t

.25=(0+v2 /2) x 6.7/3600 hours

900=v2/2 x 6.7

v2=268.6567 mph as the speed with which the dragster crosses the finish

<h3>When acceleration is not zero, can speed remain constant?</h3>

The answer is that an accelerated motion can have a constant speed. Consider a particle travelling uniformly around a circle; it experiences acceleration since the motion's direction is changing, but it maintains a constant speed along the tangential axis throughout the motion.

Acceleration is the frequency of a change in velocity. Acceleration is a vector with magnitude and direction, much as velocity. For instance, if a car is moving in a straight path and speeding up, it is said to have forward (positive) acceleration, and if it is slowing down, it is said to have backward (negative) acceleration.

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

Ions can have a positive or negative charge. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
mixas84 [53]

From among the choices provided, the more appropriate
answer is ' T ', the initial letter often used to represent
words that include 'true', 'truth', 'trust', etc., (as well as
'tree', 'train', 'transmit', 'Transylvania', 'trachea', 'travesty',
and 'trick', which are irrelevant to the present discussion).

This response is the most fitting and appropriate, because
the statement that precedes the list of allowable choices is
exemplary in its accuracy and veracity.  An ion can, in fact,
have a positive or negative charge, although the same ion
cannot have both.
