A 45.0 kilogram boy is riding a 15.0-kilogram bicycle with a speed of 8.00 meters per second. What is the combined kinetic energ
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1920Joules

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the kinetic energy of a body is expressed as;

KE = 1/2 mv²

m isthe mass

V is the speed

For the two masses, the combined KE is expressed as;

KE  = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

KE = 1/2(45+15)(8)²

KE  = 1/2 * 60 * 64

KE  = 30 * 64

KE  = 1920J

Hence the combined kinetic energy of the boy and the bicycle is 1920Joules

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
sineoko [7]
The temperature of the water getting colder would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop due to less heat being transferred from the water to the liquid, so the liquid molecules are closer than when they have high energy.

Three cars collide, a 1500 kg sports car, a 1750 kg family car, and a 1200 kg compact car. Which experiences the greatest change
sweet [91]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

This is because momentum is defined as p = mv

delta p = Force *time

neither velocity nor time is given so a conclusion cannot be made on which has the greatest momentum change.
