The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where:
m = mass
v = speed

Given this formula, the original KE of the scooter is calculated as 392 J. Since the speed is doubled, it can be observed in the formula that the change would actually affect the kinetic energy by quadrupling it. This is because 2^2 is 4. So, 392(4) = 1568 J or B.

A particle beam is made up of many protons, each with a kinetic energy of 3.25times 10-15 J. A proton has a mass of 1.673 times
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 1.01 x 10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

given information,

kinetic energy, KE = 3.25 x 10^{-15} J

proton's mass, m = 1.673 x 10^{-27} kg

charge, q = 1.602 x 10^{-19} C

distance, d = 2 m

to find the electric field that will stop the proton, we can use the following equation:

E = F/q

   = (KE/d) / q ,        KE = Fd --> F = KE/d

   = KE/qd

    = (3.25 x 10^{-15} J) / (1.602 x 10^{-19} C)(2 m)

    = 1.01 x 10^{-4} N/C

The torque exerted by a crowbar on an object increases with increased _______.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

force and leverage distance

Explanation:

the formula for torque if = force x distance

(the distance above is the leverage distance on the crow bar)

therefore if there is an increase in either the torque or the leverage distance, or both, the torque exerted by the crow bar also increases.

for example

  • lets assume a force of 5 n is applied on the crow bar with a leverage distance of 2 m.

        the torque = 5 x 2 = 10 N.m

  • but if the force was increased to 7 N

        torque = 7 x 2 = 12 N.m

from the illustration above, we can see that the torque increased with an increase in force. There would also be an increase in torque if the distance were to be increased.

How is aperture measured? What do the measurements mean?
gulaghasi [49]
Aperture is measured in F-stops, in which the f-stops is the amount of light allowed to pass through the aperture, which simply put means that the smaller the aperture, the higher the f-stops. What it does is reduce the amount of light that reaches the film, so the higher the f-stops, the less light reaches the film.
