Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula KE =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.

In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes. 

You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.

An inductor in an LC circuit has a maximum current of 2.4 A and a maximum energy of 56 mJ.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor, when the current in the inductor is 1.2 A, is 41.6 mJ.

Explanation:

In a LC oscillating circuit, the energy is stored in the electric field (between the plates of the capacitor) and in the magnetic field (surrounding the wires of the inductor).

At any time, the sum of both energies can be expressed as follows:

E = 1/2 Q² / C   +  1/2 L I²

In this type of circuit, energy oscillates, which means that it is exchanging between both fields all time.

When the capacitor is completely discharged, all the energy is stored in the magnetic field, and at that time, the current is maximum.

The total energy, when I is maximum, can be written as follows:

E = 1/2 L I² (1)

In our case, when I= 2.4A, E= 56 mJ.

So, we can find out the value of L, which will allow us to know the value of the magnetic energy at any time, having the value of the instantaneous current.

Solving for L in (1):

L = 2 *.56 mJ / (2.4)² A² = 20 mH

The next step is getting the value of the energy stored in the inductor, when I = 1.2 A, as follows:

Em = 1/2 *20 mH.* (1.2)² A² = 14.4 mJ

As the total energy must be always the same, i.e., 56 mJ, the energy stored in the capacitor, assuming no losses, must be the difference between the total energy and the one stored in the magnetic field:

Ec = 56 mJ - 14.4 mJ = 41.6 mJ

Westkost [7]
The correct one is A. Technician Only.
The distribution of service information is regulated by <span>United States Environmental Protection Agency.
According to the rules,  all vehicle manufacturers are required to make their service information available for everyone online for 'reasonable prices'.
Because of this, vehicle manufacturers started discontinuing the paper format.</span>

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 2820 J of work is done on the gas
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  1. Q=0
  2. U=2820
  3. Energy increases

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Work done W=2820

a)Generally the heat flow for an adiabatic process is 0 (zero)

Q= U + W =>0

Q=0

b)Generally Change in internal energy of gas is mathematically given by

Since W=-2820J

Therefore

U=2820

Giving

Q= 2820 -2820

Q=O

c)With increases in internal energy brings increase in temperature

Therefore

Energy increases
