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>

Lynna [10]
Dr Tony Allision hypothesize that the sickle cell disease is connected with malaria. The disease carried by the mosquito is more common in coastal area and near Lake Victoria while it is less common in the highlands. He made a further hypothesis that sickle cell disease is common in areas where malaria is also common.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J
