Hello!

A 1350 kg car travels at 12 m/s. What is it's kinetic energy ?

We have the following data:

m (mass) = 1350 kg

v (velocity) = 12 m/s

KE (kinetic Energy) = ? (in Joule)

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

$\boxed{KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2}$

Solving:

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *1350*12^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *1350*144$

$KE = \dfrac{194400}{2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{KE = 97200\:Joule}}\:or\:\boxed{\boxed{KE = 97.2\:kJ}}\Longleftarrow(kinetic\:energy)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\blue{\checkmark}$

what will the stopping distance be a a 3000-kg car if -3000N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10 m/s

Inga [223]

Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

Acceleration= force/mass

3000/3000=1m/s^-2

Applying equation of motion:

V^2=U^2+2as; V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is the distance covered.

0=10^2 -2*1s;

Solve for s

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

$kx-mg=ma$

$x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ ....(I)

The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

$x=2.5\times x_{0}$

Here, acceleration is zero

So, $x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

$2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$

$2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)$

$a=2.5g-g$

$a=1.5g$

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.
