Answer:

KE=48J

Explanation:

You use the equation:

KE=1/2mv^2

KE=1/2(1.5kg)(8.0m/s)^2

KE=48J

Given : A toy plane has a mass of 1.5kg . It is flying in air at a speed of 8m/s .

To Find : The Kinetic energy of the plane .

Solution : The mass of the toy plane is 1.5kg and Velocity is 8.0 m / s . So we know the formula to find the kinetic energy as ,

$\boxed{\red{\bf Energy_{Kinetic}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}}$

On substituting the respective values,

⇒ KE = ½mv².

⇒ KE = ½ × 1.5 kg × (8 m/s)².

⇒ KE = ½ × 1.5 kg × 64m²/s² .

⇒ KE = 48 J .

Hence the Kinetic energy of the plane is 48Joules.

A spring scale exerts a net force of 8.5 N on an object. What is the object's mass if it has an acceleration of

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

mass of the object is 2.18 kg

Explanation:

Given

Force (F) = 8.5 N = 8.5 kg.m/ $s^{2}$

acceleration (a) = 3.9 m/ $s^{2}$

Mass (m) = ?

We know that the newton's second law of motion gives the relation between mass of ab object. force acted upon and the amount the object is accelerated. It is expressed in the form of an equation:

F = ma

mass, m = F/a

= $\frac{8.5 kgms^{-2} }{3.9 ms^{-2} }$
