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.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr

valina [46]

The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
$T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s$
Which means that the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz$
and the angular frequency is
$\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s$

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
$v_{max} = A \omega$
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
$v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s$
