How much will the kinetic energy of a school bus increase if its velocity is tripled?

Physics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a school bus.

Let say initially the school bus is traveling with speed "v"

Let assume mass of school bus is "m"

Then, the initial kinetic energy is

K.E_initial = ½mv²

Now, if the initial velocity is tripled,

Then, the new velocity is

v_new = 3v.

Note: the mass of the school does not change it is constant

Then, new kinetic energy is

K.E_new = ½m(v_new)²

v_new = 3v

Then,

K.E_new = ½m(3v)²

K.E_new = ½m × 9v²

K.E_new = 9 × ½mv²

Since K.E = ½mv²

Then,

K.E_new = 9 × K.E

So, the new kinetic energy will be 9 times the initial kinetic energy.

So, option D is correct

D. It will be nine times greater.

Answer:

force F = 1.66 × 10^{-13} N

Explanation:

given data

proton and an electron = 865 nm

solution

we get here force that is express as

force F = k q1 q2 ÷ r²      ......................1

put here value and we get

force F = 9 × 10^{9} × \frac{1.6\times (10^{-19})^{2}}{865 \times (10^{-9})^{2}}    

force F = 1.66 × 10^{-13} N

QveST [7]

We have thatThe options that define Speed, Velocity,Acceleration.

  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Options

B,D,E

From the question we are told

Choose the correct definitions of speed, velocity, and acceleration. Check all that apply.

  • Acceleration tells us in which direction the object is going. Speed is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe changes in the movement direction of the object. Acceleration tells us how far the object will go in a certain amount of time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.
  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Velocity is the rate of change of speed in time.

Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Generally

  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.
  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving without its direction in consideration

Hence

The options that define Speed, Velocity,Acceleration.

  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Options

B,D,E

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km
