Answer:
5.33kg
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Velocity of eagle = 15m/s
Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J
Unknown:
Mass of the eagle = ?
Solution:
The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical energy.
The formula of kinetic energy is given as;
Kinetic energy = m v²
where m is the mass, V is the velocity
substitute the parameters in the equation;
600 = x m x 15²
225m = 1200
m = = 5.33kg
The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.
Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.
Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².
So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
