How do mass and speed affect kinetic energy?

1 answer:

7 0

The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed affects it by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are hight and initial velocity

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the ball strike the ground, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s

How many cubic objects of volume 2cm cube can be started in a room of dimension 2m by 3m by 4m

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

12,000,000 boxes

Explanation:

the volume of the room can be found by using the equation for volume of a rectangular box:V=LxWxH

where:

L=2m

W=3m

H=4m

(it doesn't really matter which is which since it is multiplication)

when we multiply our values (2m*3m*4m) we get 24cubic meters

now we need to convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters

each cubic meter is 1,000,000 cubic centimeter we multiply 24 by 1,000,000 and we get: 24,000,000 cubic centimeters (cc)

dividing 24,000,000 by 2 (since each box is 2cc) we get 12,000,000

so, we know we can fit 12,000,000, 2 cubic centimeter boxes in this room

Compare an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 5.5 to one with a magnitude of 7.5.

maksim [4K]

The 7.5 is a 100 times stronger than the 5.5 . The 100 comes from the increase in scale from 5.5 to 7.5 which is an increase of two so you multiply the strength of the weaker earthquake 10^7-5=10^2=100 and that gives you the strength of the stronger earthquake!

Solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs

Softa [21]

Answer:

Buffers

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

A buffer solution is an equilibrium system that resists changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added hence it is a solution of fairly constant pH value.
