A 10.0-kg animal is running at a rate of 3.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the animal?

1 answer:

4 0

Kinetic energy is calculated by using formula:

Ek = 1/2*m*v^2

Now we replace values of mass and speed in this formula.

Ek = 1/2*10*3^2 = 45.0J

When you have a formula and all variable values are given in the text of question just replace variable values in equation and find the final value.

The terminal velocity is not dependent on which one of the following properties? the drag coefficient 1 the force of gravity 2 c

ahrayia [7]

<h2>Answer: the falling time</h2>

Explanation:

When a body or object falls, basically two forces act on it:

1. The force of air friction, also called "drag force" $D$ :

$D={C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A$ (1)

Where:

$C_ {d}$ is the drag coefficient

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid (air for example)

$V$ is the velocity

$A$ is the transversal area of the object

So, this force is proportional to the transversal area of the falling element and to the square of the velocity.

2. Its weight due to the gravity force $W$ :

$W=m.g$

(2)

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the object

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity

So, at the moment when the drag force equals the gravity force, the object will have its terminal velocity:

$D=W$ (3)

${C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A=m.g$ (4)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{2m.g}{\rho A{C}_{d}}}$ (5) This is the terminal velocity

As we can see, there is no "falling time" in this equation.

Therefore, the terminal velocity is not dependent on the falling time.

Identify two factors that determine the state of matter

vova2212 [387]

Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.

prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."

The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."
