Answer:

If an object moves twice as fast its kinetic energy quadruples.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy (K₁) of a body of mass (m) that moves with speed (v) is:

K₁= 1/2 * m* v²

If we double the speed of the body, its kinetic energy (K₂) will be:

K₂= 1/2 * m*( 2v)²

K₂= 1/2 * m* 4 *v²

K₂= 4(1/2 * m *v²)

K₂= 4*K₁

Answer:

0.099C

Explanation:

First, we need to get the common potential voltage using the formula

$V=\frac {C_2V_2-C_1V_1}{C_1+C_2}$

Where V is the common voltage, C and V represent capacitance and charge respectively. Subscripts 1 and 2 to represent the the first and second respectively. Substituting the above with the following given values then

$C_1=22\times 10^{-6} F\\ C_2=115\times 10^{-6} F\\ V_1= 0.7\times 10^{3}\\V_2=5.5\times 10^{3}$

Therefore

$V=\frac {115\times 10^{-6}\times 5.5\times 10^{3}-22\times 10^{6}\times 0.7\times 10^{3}}{22\times 10^{-6}+115\times 10^{-6}}=4504.3795620437$

Charge, Q is given by CV hence for the first capacitor charge will be $Q_1=C_1V$

Here, $Q_1=22\times 10^{-6}\times 4504.3795620437=0.0990963503649C\approx 0.099C$

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

$m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'$

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

$0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17$
