The Kinetic energy of an object is given by:
E_k= \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m is the mass of the object (kg) and v is the velocity of the object (ms-1)

Substituting in:
E_k= \frac{1}{2}*3000*30^2 = 1350000J
Therefore the Kinetic energy of the object is 1.35MJ

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon.
iragen [17]

Answer:

0.0239364 N

0.0057879 N

Explanation:

\rho = Density of the gas

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

V = Volume

Mass of rubber = 1.5 g

Buoyant force is given by

F_b=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_b=1.22\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow F_b=0.0239364\ N

The buoyant force is 0.0239364 N

Net vertical force is given by

F_n=F_b-W_{He}-W_{r}\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0239364-0.175\times 2\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81-1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0057879\ N

The net vertical force is 0.0057879 N

Give examples of not useful high friction
Tatiana [17]
Friction can be bad by being too strong or too weak. 

<span>Sometimes, when it is too strong, it decreases efficiency since some energy is wasted and turns to heat. Friction can also d</span><span>amage equipment/objects like when you slide it on the floor.
</span>
When friction is too weak, like for instance when there is black ice- our center of gravity is displaced too quickly and we can fall. Likewise, if there is a lot of slush on the ground, cars can slip and slide.

A sound wave of 70 cm travels 840 m in 2.5 sec. What is the velocity and frequency of sound?
Darya [45]
-- Speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance) = 840/2.5 = 336 m/s

-- Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 336/0.70 = 480 Hz.
