Which vehicle has the LEAST kinetic energy? 18-wheeler, minivan, car, or bike?

Physics

Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

We can make pretty good guesses for their masses, but kinetic energy also depends on their speeds, which we don't know, and may change.

As an example ... If the truck, the van, the car, and the bike are all parked at the mall, then a scampering mouse has more kinetic energy than all of them combined.

As the question stands, no answer is possible.

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. half the crowd hopes the ball will clear
trapecia [35]
<span>The ball clears by 11.79 meters Let's first determine the horizontal and vertical velocities of the ball. h = cos(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.642788 * 23.4 m/s = 15.04 m/s v = sin(50.0)*23.4 m/s = 0.766044 * 23.4 m/s = 17.93 m/s Now determine how many seconds it will take for the ball to get to the goal. t = 36.0 m / 15.04 m/s = 2.394 s The height the ball will be at time T is h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 where h = height of ball v = initial vertical velocity T = time A = acceleration due to gravity So plugging into the formula the known values h = vT - 1/2 A T^2 h = 17.93 m/s * 2.394 s - 1/2 9.8 m/s^2 (2.394 s)^2 h = 42.92 m - 4.9 m/s^2 * 5.731 s^2 h = 42.92 m - 28.0819 m h = 14.84 m Since 14.84 m is well above the crossbar's height of 3.05 m, the ball clears. It clears by 14.84 - 3.05 = 11.79 m</span>

How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?
REY [17]
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

what was the initial temperature is 250 calories reply .1 kg of gold the final temperature of the gold was 175°c ? the specific
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

115.2^{\circ}C

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a substance of mass m, the temperature of the substance increases by \Delta T, according to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance.

In this problem, we have:

Q=250 \cdot 4.184 =1046 J is the amount of heat supplied to the sample of gold

m = 0.1 kg = 100 g is the mass of the sample

C_s = 0.175 J/gC is the specific heat capacity of gold

Solving for \Delta T, we find the change in temperature

\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_s}=\frac{1046}{(100)(0.175)}=59.8^{\circ}

And since the final temperature was

T_f = 175^{\circ}

The initial temperature was

T_i = T_f - \Delta T= 175 -59.8=115.2^{\circ}C
