Which of the following cars have the most kinetic energy

faltersainse [42]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

$\huge\boxed{OptionA}$

mass = 4 kg

velocity = 5 m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Orange truck:</h3>

Mass= 2kg

Velocity = 7m/s^2

mass = 6 kg

velocity = 4m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Green Car:</h3>

Mass = 8 kg

Velocity = 3 m/s^2

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

By the equation of kinetic energy,

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

Where,

K.E is kinetic energy

m is mass

v is velocity

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic energy of Blue car:</h3>

Directly substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x4x5^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 50 J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Silver Car:</h3>

Directly substitude the variable in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x6x4^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 48J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Green Car:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x8x3^2$

Simplify the Equation,

K.E = 36J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Orange Truck:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variable,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x 2x7^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 49J

As you can see that the highest value of kinetic energy is of Blue SUV thus it will be out answer.

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain??

9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator. Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

Question 2

yarga [219]

Answer:

24.4 m

Explanation:

first we have to calculate how long the cat will be in the air, in vertical direction this is free fall from 4m (poor cat, hope he survived) with acceleration of g=9.81 m/s^2

time = sqrt ( 2 * height / g)

time = sqrt (2 * 4 / 9.81)

time = 0,903 s

then we know his horizontal flight was 22 m long, so ve can calculate verical speed

speed = length / time

speed = 22 m / 0,903 s

speed = 24.363 m

as you are asked to give 3 significant numbers answer is 24,4 m
