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?

VLD [36.1K]3 years ago

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

How much work would it take to push two protons very slowly from a separation of 2.00×10−10m (a typical atomic distance) to 3.00
laiz [17]

Answer:

Work= -7.68×10⁻¹⁴J

Explanation:

Given data

q₁=q₂=1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

r₁=2.00×10⁻¹⁰m

r₂=3.00×10⁻¹⁵m

To find

Work

Solution

The work done on the charge is equal to difference in potential energy

W=ΔU

Work=U_{1}-U_{2}\\ Work=-kq_{1}q_{2}[\frac{1}{r_{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{1}} ]\\Work=(-9*10^{9})*(1.6*10^{-19} )^{2}[\frac{1}{3.0*10^{-15} }-\frac{1}{2*10^{-10} } ]\\  Work=-7.68*10^{-14}J

The metric unit of force is the
Verizon [17]
Newtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2.) These units (kg and m/s^2) multiplied together like in the equation force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma) gives a product with Newtons as the unit.
