The non-relativistic formula for kinetic energy for low speeds is :

K.E = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5 * 22 * (5)^2 = 275 J

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity

algol [13]

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds

A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,

olchik [2.2K]

The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.

That will depend on the coefficient of friction between the sliding surfaces, and also on Zak's weight. We don't have any of that information.
