peed. Which of the following is true?
A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.
B. The car has more kinetic energy than bus.

Answer:

A. The bus has more kinetic energy than the car.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the amount energy possessed by the body when in motion. Kinetic is given by the formula;

K.E = 1/2mv²,

where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body.

Kinetic energy therefore depends on the mass and the velocity of the body. In this case, the passenger bus has more kinetic energy at constant speed than the car since it has a larger mass.

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a
sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

4 cm .

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

density of galaxies would be \frac{1}{0.27^3} times higher which is equal to 50.81.

It means  in a cube that today contains one galaxy the size of the Milky Way, we would instead find 50.81 galaxies this size.

You can round this off to 52
