How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

60 mph?

Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

A machine lifts a 35 kg object doing 6860 J worth of work. How much power is produced by the machine if it lifts the object in 4
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation for this which is

P = Work/time

We have everything we need to solve this (the mass of the object is extra information):

P = 6860/4

P = 1715W

What does frequency describe?
ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is:  <em>How often something happens.  </em>

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent".  That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz".  That's not for the car rental company.  It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist.  He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .
