Answer:

16 times that of car A

Explanation:

Moving objects have kinetic energy which is calculated using the formula:

E=(1/2)mv² where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

For car A, kinetic energy =1/2×m×15²

=112.5m........................................i

For car B,  the kinetic energy =1/2×m×60²

=1800m......................................ii

dividing ii by i we get

1800m/112.5m= 16.07

Therefore The kinetic energy of car B is 16.07 times that of car A

A pump uses a piston of 15 cm diameter that moves at 2.0 cm/s as it pushes a fluid through a pipe. what is the speed of the flui
Nitella [24]
The important point here is that volumetric flow rate in the pump and the pipe is the same.

Q = AV, where Q = Volumetric flow  rate, A = Cross sectional area, V = velocity

Q (pump) = (π*15^2)/4*2 = 353.43 cm^3/s
Q (pipe) = (π*(3/10)^2)/4*V = 0.071V

Q (pump) = Q (pipe)
0.071V = 353.43 => V = 5000 cm/s

Therefore, the flow  of water in the pipe is 5000 cm/s.

Does uranium use steam?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr
Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m
