A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?

8 0

Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s$

Have a nice day!

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ???? 0 ν0 . Find the mi

Allisa [31]

Answer:

<h2>E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules</h2>

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed to eject electrons from a metal with a threshold frequency fo is expressed as E = hfo

h = planck's constant

fo = threshold frequency

Given the threshold frequency fo = 4.23×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

h = 6.626× 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s

Substituting this value into the formula to get the energy E

E = 4.23×10¹⁴ * 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10¹⁴⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10⁻²⁰

E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) technician A

Explanation: A parking brake is a secondary and support brake system which is usually applied when the vehicle is not in motion,this is done to prevent any form of motion and the possibility of any form of accident.

A secondary circuit is a circuit or coil in which current is generated through induction from another circuit or coil called the primary circuit,it has not been discovered that a low pressure from that circuit has led to poor trailer parking brake performance.

Answer:

K.E = 4800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 600 kg

Velocity = 4 m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*600*4^{2}$

$K.E = 300 * 16$

K.E = 4800 Joules.
