Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a

book on a table
Physics
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

  • Wind is air in motion.
  • Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.

A long distance runner sees the finish line and accelerates at a rate in 1.2 m/s2 for
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m

A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km

5) A person holds a 1.7 kg bucket and lets it move down at
Elena L [17]

Answer:

12.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of bucket  = 1.7kg

Height  = 75cm  = 0.75m

Unknown;

Work done on the bucket by the person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the work done equation;

  Work done  = force x distance  = mgh

 m is the mass  

  g is the acceleration due to gravity

  h is the height

Now, insert parameters and solve ;

     Work done  = 1.7 x 9.8 x 0.75  = 12.5J
