The kinetic energy K of a moving object varies jointly with its mass m and the square of its velocity v. If an object weighing 4

0 kilograms with a velocity of 15 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 1000 joules, find the kinetic energy if the velocity is increased to 20 meters per second. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

K' = 1777.777 J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 40 kg

v= 15 m/s

K=1000

Given that kinetic energy(K) varies with mass(m) and velocity(v)

K= C(mv²)

Where

C= Constant

m=mass

v=velocity

When

m = 40 kg ,v= 15 m/s ,K=1000

K= C(mv²)

1000 = C( 40 x 15²)

C=0.111111

When m = 40 kg and v= 20 m/s

K' = C(mv²)

K= 0.1111 x (40 x 20²)

K' = 1777.777 J

Answer:

1777.78 Joules

Explanation:

v = Velocity of object

m = Mass of object

Kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{2K}{v^2}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{2\times 1000}{15^2}$

The mass of the object is 4.44 kg.

Here the mass remains constant

If v = 20 m/s

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2\times 1000}{15^2}\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow K=1777.78\ Joules$

The kinetic energy of the object when the speed is increased to 20 m/s is 1777.78 Joules

False , inertia is the tendency of a object to not change their state. I have no idea how the orbit around the sun got mixed up in there ....

A 7600 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.35 m/s2 and feels no appreci

ollegr [7]

Answer:

a) The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that rocket accelerates uniformly in the two stages. First, rocket is accelerates due to engine and second, it is decelerated by gravity.

1st Stage - Engine

Given that initial velocity, acceleration and travelled distance are known, we determine final velocity ( $v$ ), measured in meters per second, by using this kinematic equation:

$v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} +2\cdot a\cdot \Delta s}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$\Delta s$ - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta s = 595\,m$ , the final velocity of the rocket is:

$v = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (595\,m)}$

$v\approx 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$

The time associated with this launch ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$

$t = \frac{52.882\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{2.35\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t = 22.503\,s$

2nd Stage - Gravity

The rocket reaches its maximum height when final velocity is zero:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})$ (2)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$s_{o}$ - Initial height, measured in meters.

$s$ - Final height, measured in meters.

If we know that $v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $s_{o} = 595\,m$ , then the maximum height reached by the rocket is:

$v^{2} -v_{o}^{2} = 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})$

$s-s_{o} = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$

$s = s_{o} + \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$

$s = 595\,m + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$s = 737.577\,m$

The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The time needed for the rocket to crash down to the launch pad is determined by the following kinematic equation:

$s = s_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$s_{o}$ - Initial height, measured in meters.

$s$ - Final height, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $s_{o} = 595\,m$ , $v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $s = 0\,m$ and $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the time needed by the rocket is:

$0\,m = 595\,m + \left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot t^{2}$

$-4.904\cdot t^{2}+52.882\cdot t +595 = 0$

Then, we solve this polynomial by Quadratic Formula:

$t_{1}\approx 17.655\,s$ , $t_{2} \approx -6.872\,s$

Only the first root is solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.
