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

Please help ASAP!!

Answer:

at t=46/22, x=24 699/1210 ≈ 24.56m

Explanation:

The general equation for location is:

x(t) = x₀ + v₀·t + 1/2 a·t²

Where:

x(t) is the location at time t. Let's say this is the height above the base of the cliff.

x₀ is the starting position. At the base of the cliff we'll take x₀=0 and at the top x₀=46.0

v₀ is the initial velocity. For the ball it is 0, for the stone it is 22.0.

a is the standard gravity. In this example it is pointed downwards at -9.8 m/s².

Now that we have this formula, we have to write it two times, once for the ball and once for the stone, and then figure out for which t they are equal, which is the point of collision.

Ball: x(t) = 46.0 + 0 - 1/2*9.8 t²

Stone: x(t) = 0 + 22·t - 1/2*9.8 t²

Since both objects are subject to the same gravity, the 1/2 a·t² term cancels out on both side, and what we're left with is actually quite a simple equation:

46 = 22·t

so t = 46/22 ≈ 2.09

Put this t back into either original (i.e., with the quadratic term) equation and get:

x(46/22) = 46 - 1/2 * 9.806 * (46/22)² ≈ 24.56 m

Why is a minimum of three seismic stations needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
vazorg [7]

Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.

One terminal of a car battery is said to be connected to “ground.” since it is not really connected to the ground, what is meant
GalinKa [24]
This expression means that the negative terminal (-) is connected to the metal chassis or engine, which means that all voltages used for the electrical devices in the car are measured with respect to the car's chassis or engine. 
Today's vehicles have a negative ground system, which means that the vehicle's steel frame or chassis is directly connected to the negative side of the battery via the negative battery cable.
