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.

vredina [299]

Answer:

5.865 μs

Explanation:

t₀ = Time taken to decay a muon = 2.20 μs

c = Speed of Light in vacuum = 3×10⁸ m/s

v = Velocity of muon = 0.927 c

t = Lifetime observed

Time dilation

$t=\frac{t_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.2\times 10^{-6}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.927c)^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.2\times 10^{-6}}{\sqrt{1-0.927^2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.2\times 10^{-6}}{\sqrt{0.140671}}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.2\times 10^{-6}}{0.3750}\\\Rightarrow t=5.865\times 10^{-6}\ seconds$
