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

Physics
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
7 0

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 car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s

What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface
Ksivusya [100]

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl
