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

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441
Tasya [4]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L =  \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2

I). Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

false statement : b )  For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = -  Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second  option,  the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd  option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.

A chemical reaction takes place in which energy is absorbed. Arrange the characteristics of the reaction in order from start to
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<h2>Answer</h2>

It will be single step endothermic reaction.

<h2>Expalantion</h2>

In the endothermic reaction, the reactants come together to convert to products by absorbing the heat from the external source. This reaction is explained is also known as one step reaction as reactants meet to get the transition stage and converts to the product. But in some reactions, the activation energy required to activate the reactants to get the transition stage to form products. For this, the reaction will have the steps as activation energy, reactant meet, transition stage and products form.

Temperature Dependence of the pH of pure Water
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

At 100°C, the pH of pure water is 6.14. That is the neutral point on the pH scale at this higher temperature. A solution with a pH of 7 at this temperature is slightly alkaline because its pH is a bit higher than the neutral value of 6.14.
