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

Physics

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.

Over [174]

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation a=v^2/r

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.

Please help on this one somebody?
coldgirl [10]

7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m. An electromagnetic wave of frecuency 4.0 x 10¹⁸Hz has a wavelength of 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m.

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a periodic disturbance that propagates through a medium in a certain time interval. The wavelength, also known as the space period, is the inverse of the frequency. The wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter λ.

λ = v/f. Where v is the speed of propagation of the wave, and "f" is the frequency.

An electromagnetic wave has a frecuency of 4.0 x 10 ¹⁸Hz and the speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s. So:

λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4.0 x 10¹⁸ Hz)

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m
