(a) How fast must a 3000-kg elephant move to have the same kinetic energy as a 65.0-kg sprinter running at 10.0 m/ s?

Answer:

1.4719 m per sec

Explanation:

Hello

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the movement of objects. Although there are many forms of kinetic energy  

the formula to use is

E=\frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where m is the mass of the object and v the velocity

lets see the kinetic energy of the sprinter running

E=\frac{65 Kg*10(\frac{m}{s} ^)){2} }{2} \\\\E=\frac{65 *100 }{2} \\E=3250 Joules\\\\

Now, the elephant must have the same kinetic energy

E=\frac{m*v_{2} ^{2} }{2} \\\\E*2=m*v_{2} ^{2}\\ \frac{2E}{m} =v_{2} ^{2} \\\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } =v_{2}  \\\\\\v_{2} =\sqrt{\frac{2*3250}{3000} }\\ \\v_{2} =1.4719 \frac{m}{s} \\\\

it works only the positive root, so the elephant must to  walk  to 1.4719 m/s to have the same kinetic energy.

Have a great day

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c
Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm

The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
