<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>

Link between mass and force of gravity?
Leviafan [203]
Mass x Force of gravity = Weight

Weight is a force.

On Earth, the force due to gravity is ~9.81 N/Kg. So an object of 100 Kg will have a weight of ~981 N

Recall some things you already know about projectile motion. Does a force in the vertical direction affect the horizontal compon
azamat

Answer:

vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.   t =x/v₀ₓ

Explanation:

The force is a vector magnitude, so the forces on the x-axis affect the acceleration on this axis. Consequently a vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.

     F_{y} = m g

    Fₓ = 0

The horizontal velocity in projectile motion is constant, if we neglect the air resistance, so it can be used to find the time of a horizontal displacement

       x = v₀ₓ t

       t =x/v₀ₓ

The only magnitude that is the same for both movements is the time that is a scalar

Which of the following happens to an object in uniform circular motion?
podryga [215]

Answer:

As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed.

Rearrange the formula F=ma, and solve for the variable (a)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

a = F/m

Explanation:

So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m
