Calculate the kinetic energy of a 4kg cat running 5m/s

1 answer:

5 0

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) x (4 kg) x (5 m/s)²

   = (2 kg) x (25 m²/s²)

   = 50 kg-m²/s² = <em>50 joules

</em>

A proton is projected in the positive x direction into a region of a uniform electric field E S 5 126.00 3 105 2 i^ N/C at t 5 0

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the acceleration of the proton is $5.74\times10^{13}\ m/s^2$

(b). The initial peed of the protion is $2.83\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(c). The time is $0.493\times10^{-7}\ sec$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field $E=-6.00\times10^{5}i\ N/C$

Time = 5.0 sec

Distance 7.00 cm

(a). We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

$F=F_{e}$

$ma=qE$

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}$

Where, E = electric field

m = mass of proton

q = charge of proton

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{-6.00\times10^{5}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.67\times10^{-27}}$

$a=-5.74\times10^{13}\ m/s62$

The magnitude of the acceleration of the proton is $5.74\times10^{13}\ m/s^2$

(b). We need to calculate the initial peed

Using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Where, s = distance

Put the value into the formula

$0-u^2=2\times(-5.74\times10^{13})\times7.00\times10^{-2}$

$u=\sqrt{2\times5.74\times10^{13}\times7.00\times10^{-2}}$

$u=2834783.94$

$u=2.83\times10^{6}\ m/s$

The initial peed of the protion is $2.83\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(c). We need to calculate the time interval over which the proton comes to rest

Using formula

$t=\dfrac{u}{a}$

Where, u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{2.83\times10^{6}}{5.74\times10^{13}}$

$t=0.493\times10^{-7}\ sec$

Hence, (a). The magnitude of the acceleration of the proton is $5.74\times10^{13}\ m/s^2$

(b). The initial peed of the protion is $2.83\times10^{6}\ m/s$

(c). The time is $0.493\times10^{-7}\ sec$ .

a train engineer started the train from a standstill and sped up to 5 meters per second, she then rounded a corner at a constant

olasank [31]

for acceleration we can define that rate of change in velocity is know as acceleration

So whenever velocity of train is changing with time we can say train is accelerating

Now here if initially train is standstill then after some time its speed is 5 m/s

so here the train is accelerated first time

Then on straight path its speed changed from 5 m/s to 10 m/s so here train gets accelerated second time

After this train chugged around a curve with same speed 10 m/s

SO here since train is moving in curve so here its direction of velocity is continuously changing and this type of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration

SO this is accelerated Third time

Then its speed decreases and it comes to speed of 5 m/s from 10 m/s

So here it is acceleration of train for Fourth time

Then finally train comes to stop so again its speed changed from 5 m/s to 0

so this is acceleration of train Fifth time

So total train will accelerate 5 times in whole path

Help quick<br> p;leaseeeeeeeeeeee its about direction and magnitude

KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

The net force of each square is the combination of the forces in each direction. The direction is the... direction the square would go in due to the net force. The magnitude of the net force is how large it is. So if you had a force pushing 2N to the left and 1N to the right, then the net force would be 1N to the left; because the two oppose eachother. If they were going in the same direction, then they'd add to each other. And perpendicular net forces (like one pushing up and another pushing left) can create net forces in diagonal directions.

I'm not going to do all of these for you because they're basically all the same thing and it's good practice for you anyway. But I'll do the first three just so you can get the idea:

1. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the right.

2. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the left.

3. The net force's magnitude is 0N and it has no direction because they are equal forces acting in opposite directions.
