Determine the kinetic energy of a 55kg woman running with the velocity of 5.87m/s

1 answer:

The formula for kinetic energy = ½m·v<span>2

1/2 * 55 kg x 5,87 m/s ^2 = 27.5 x </span>34.4569 = <span>947.56475 Joule </span>≈ 948 J

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is at rest at a stopligt. The car comes to a

Burka [1]

Answer:

5 m/s, moving to the South.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 15 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 4500 kg

Initial velocity of truck, v = 0 m/s (Truck is at rest)

Final velocity of car, U = 0 m/s (Car comes to a stop)

Final velocity of truck = V

Because the collision is elastic, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum, we have that:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1500 * 15) + (4500 * 0) = (1500 * 0) + (4500 * V)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 00V

=> V = 22500/4500

V = 5 m/s

The velocity carries a positive sign, hence, it's moving in the same direction as the car was moving initially.

That is, it's moving to the South.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma

Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}$

$a=-0.00308\ m/s^2$

Value of g, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2$

$a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is required solution.

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant falls on your head and knocks you to the ground. If

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

${\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}$

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ is change in velocity and t is time.

You need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$

t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ /a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s

Match the theory to the statement that best describes it. 1. big bang. 2. steady state. 3.osscillating universe. 4. inflation Ch

Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation :

(1) Big bang : (1) The most accepted theory on the origin of the universe.

This theory shows the expanding of the universe from high density and high-temperature states.

(2) Steady state : (3) All is the same and will always stay the same.

Steady state means that the properties of any system remain the same always.

(3) Oscillating universe : (4) Agrees with the big bang theory but insists the universe expanded much quicker.

Oscillating universe theory is the result of big bang theory.

(4) Inflation Choices : (2) it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops.

In cosmology, cosmic inflation or deflation is just the expanding and contraction of the universe.

So, the statements and the choices are related as:

(1)-(1)

(2)- (3)

(3)-(4)

(4)-(2)
