If you are not considering friction, the energy must be the same, therefore, kinetic energy will be constant.

If an object whose mass is growing keeps the same, unchanged
kinetic energy, then its motion must slow down, because

        Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

The graph in the accompanying figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of the force exerted by a given spring as a function of the
serious [3.7K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched spring is 1 J.

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring.

Given that;

Force on the spring = 350 Newton

Distance stretched = 7 centimeters or 0.07 m

Hence;

F = ke

k = F/e = 350 Newton/0.07 m = 5000 N/m

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke^2

= 0.5 × 5000 × (2 × 10^-2)^2 =1 J

The field between two charged parallel plates is kept constant. If the two plates are brought closer together, the potential dif
Komok [63]

Since the electric field between the plates is constant, If the two plates are brought closer together, the potential difference between the two plates decreases

The relation between potential difference and the electric field is given by ΔV = E.d

Since the electric field is maintained constant, the potential difference is directly inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

The potential difference between the plates will therefore likewise decrease if the distance between the plates is reduced, we will state in this case.

The energy required to move a unit charge, or one coulomb, from one point to the other in a circuit is measured as the potential difference between the two points. Potential difference is measured in volts or joules per coulomb.

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
