Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.
Answer:
3.6 KJ
Explanation: Given that a 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m, and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy
The workdone = the energy.
There are two different energies in the scenario - the potential energy (P.E ) and the kinetic energy ( K.E )
P.E = mgh
P.E = 70 × 9.8 × 1.6
P.E = 1097.6 J
P.E = 1.098 KJ
K.E = 1/2mv^2
K.E = 1/2 × 70 × 8.5^2
K.E = 2528.75 J
K.E = 2.529 KJ
The non conservative workdone = K.E + P.E
Work done = 1.098 + 2.529
Work done = 3.63 KJ
Therefore, the non conservative workdone is 3.6 KJ approximately
Answer:
The motion of an object is accelerated when its speed increases.
