Answer: 2812500 joules
Explanation:
Mass of car = 1500kg
Velocity of car = 75mph
Kinetic energy = ?
Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V
Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2
= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2
= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2
= 500 x 5625
= 2812500 joules
Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules
Answer:
They are in free-fall motion.
Explanation:
The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.
This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.
Answer:
12.24 m/s
Explanation:
Speed: This can be defined as the rate of change of distance with time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.
Using the formula,
a = v/t................ Equation 1
Where a = acceleration of the sprinter, v = speed of the sprinter, t = time.
making v the subject of the equation,
v = at ................. Equation 2
Given: a = 5.1 m/s², t = 2.4 s.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 5.1(2.4)
v = 12.24 m/s.
Hence, the speed of the sprinter = 12.24 m/s
