An engineer is designing a small toy car that a spring will launch from rest along a racetrack. She wants to maximize the kineti

c energy of the toy car when it launches from the end of a compressed spring onto the track, but she can make only a slight adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. The speed of the car just as it moves away from the spring onto the track is called the launch speed. Which of the following modifications to the car design would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car? Explain your reasoning.
Decrease the mass of the car slightly.
Increase the mass of the car slightly.
Decrease the launch speed of the car slightly.
Increase the launch speed of the car slightly.

Answer:

we see that to increase the energy of the expensive we must increase the launch speed, since it increases quadratically

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is

            K = ½ m v²

the speed of the expensive we can find it r

            v² = v₀² + 2 a x

we can find acceleration with Newton's second law

            F = m a

             a = F / m

             F= cte

substitute in the velocity equation

           v² = v₀² + 2 F/m  x

let's substitute in the kinetic energize equation

         K = ½ m (v₀² + 2 F/m  x)

           

         K = ½ m v₀²  + f x

we see that the kinetic energy depends on two tomines

in January in these systems the force for launching is constant, which is why decreasing the mass increases the speed of the vehicle and therefore increases the kinetic energy

As the launch speed increases the initial energy increases quadratically

we see that to increase the energy of the expensive we must increase the launch speed, since it increases quadratically

Which process produces rising air when mountains push the air upward?
kicyunya [14]

Answer;

A. orographic lifting

Explanation;

Orographic lifting is a process that takes place when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.

This can be explained by;  When air is blocked by mountains, it cannot go through these mountains, As it ascends or moves up the mountain, the air then cools as it rises and when it cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses and cloud forms.

These clouds formed  are known as orographic clouds, that develop in response to the lifting forced by the topography the earth.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.
