A medicine ball has a mass of 5 kg and is thrown with a speed of 2 m/s. what is its kinetic energy?

1 answer:

7 0

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball and v=2 m/s is its speed. Substituting these numbers, we find the kinetic energy:
$K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J$

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}$

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

$\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)$

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}$

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}$

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is $\sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}}$ = 5.66 m/s

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

MrRissso [65]

You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
