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:
$K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J$

Using newtons second law of motion, how fast for 100 KG object accelerates 350 N of force is applied to

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.5m/s^2

Explanation:

From Newton's second Law of Motion

F = ma

Where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

F = 350 N

Mass = 100kg

350N = 100×a

a = 350/100

a = 3.5m/s^2

The acceleration of the object will be 3.5m/s^2

A weight lifter lifts a dumbbell a certain height in 2.0 s, while a competitor does the same workin 1.0 s. Compared to the power

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. one-half as great

Explanation:

The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;

Power = $\frac{workdone}{time}$

Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;

P₁ = $\frac{workdone}{2}$ P₂ = $\frac{workdone }{1}$

We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.

Therefore,

The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.

What is the energy stored between 2 Carbon nuclei that are 1.00 nm apart from each other? HINT: Carbon nuclei have 6 protons and

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

$A. 8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that:

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

k = Boltzmann constant = $9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

r = distance between the two carbon nuclei = 1.00 nm = $1.00\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Since a carbon nucleus contains 6 protons.

So, charge on a carbon nucleus is $q = 6p=6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that the electric potential energy between two charges q and Q separated by a distance r is given by:

$U = \dfrac{kQq}{r}$

So, the potential energy between the two nuclei of carbon is as below:

$U= \dfrac{kqq}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{kq^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow U = \dfrac{9\times10^9\times (9.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.0\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow U =8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$

Hence, the energy stored between two nuclei of carbon is $8.29\times 10^{-18}\ J$ .
