Which has more KE a baseball traveling at 50 mph or a baseball travelling at 100 mph? Explain.

1 answer:

6 0

A baseball traveling at 100 mph has more kinetic energy than a baseball traveling at 50 mph because the kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity. Since the baseballs should have the same mass, the velocity is what will determine which ball has more kinetic energy. Since the 100 mph baseball has a higher velocity than the 50 mph baseball, it has more kinetic energy.

Answer:

v = 2.94 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.

Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.

Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means

(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

v^2 = (kx^2)/m

v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)

v = x * sqrt(k/m)

v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215) <--- units converted to m and kg

v = 2.94 m/s

A particle is released as part of an experiment. Its speed t seconds after release is given by v (t )equalsnegative 0.4 t square

torisob [31]

Answer:

a) 2.933 m

b) 4.534 m

Explanation:

We're given the equation

v(t) = -0.4t² + 2t

If we're to find the distance, then we'd have to integrate the velocity, since integration of velocity gives distance, just as differentiation of distance gives velocity.

See attachment for the calculations

The conclusion of the attachment will be

7.467 - 2.933 and that is 4.534 m

Thus, The distance it travels in the second 2 sec is 4.534 m

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds.

Initial velocity = 33 m/s

Final velocity = 0 m/s

Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2 m/s = 16.5 m/s

Explanation:

First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?

( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds

Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.

Motion is always compared to something called

HACTEHA [7]

Movement can be without change in positions. As only a part of it can be made to move. If you move there is a motion and if there is a motion there is a movement so they're same thing. In motion whole of body moves, but in movements only the parts of body moves.
