An object thrown in the air has a velocity after t seconds that can be described by v(t) = -9.8t + 24 (in meters/second) and a h

eight h(t) = -4.9t 2 + 24t + 60 (in meters). The object has mass m = 2 kilograms. The kinetic energy of the object is given by K = __1 2mv2 , and the potential energy is given by U = 9.8mh. Find an expression for the total kinetic and potential energy K + U as a function of time. What does this expression tell you about the energy of the falling object?

Answer and Explanation: Kinetic energy is related to movement: it is the energy an object possesses during the movement. it is calculated as:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

For the object thrown in the air:

K=\frac{1}{2}.2.[v(t)]^{2}

K=(-9.8t+24)^{2}

K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Kinetic energy of the object as a function of time: K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in relation to other objects. It is calculated as:

U=mgh

For the object thrown in the air:

U=9.8.2.h(t)

U=9.8.2.(-4.9t^{2}+24t+60)

U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Potential energy as function of time: U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Total kinetic and potential energy, also known as mechanical energy is

TME = 96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576 + (-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176)

TME = 1752

The expression shows that total energy of an object thrown in the air is constant and independent of time.

Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding solar surface. True or false
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

False, Sunspots appear dark (in visible light) due to their low temperature(cooler) than rest of the sun

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are much cooler( have low temperature than the rest of the surface contained by Sun. As they appear dark, but still they have very temperature that's why so hot. Sunspots have temperatures ranges  3,500 Celsius (3773 kelvin) and the surrounding surface of the sun has a temperature much higher of about 5,500 Celsius(5773 Kelvin). Even if we see a sunspot alone in space,  it will glow so brightly.

Plz help..During takeoff a plane accelerates at 4m/s^2 and takes 40s to reach takeoff speed.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.

The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 40 s

u = 0 i .e initial velocity

To Find:

velocity , v = ?

distance , s =?

Solution:

we have first Kinematic equation

v = u + at

∴ v = 0 + 4×40

∴ v = 160 m/s

Now by Third Kinematic equation

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²

∴ s = 3200 meter
