A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,
Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s
As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,
Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,
= 40 J
Answer:
it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely
Explanation:
To properly operate the laboratory thermometer it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.
The formula we can use in this case is:
d = v0t + 0.5 at^2
v = at + v0
where,
d = distance travelled
v0 = initial velocity = 0 since at rest
t = time travelled
a = acceleration
v = final velocity when it took off
a. d = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 30^2
d = 1350 m
b. v = 3 * 30 + 0
<span>v = 90 m/s</span>
