Answer:

W=-21,870,000\ J

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0

Since

\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We have

\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}

W=0-21870000\ J

\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}

⭐Hey

⭐Here we can use the formula for the body that is in free fall state. .

⭐that is

↪V = underoot 2*g*h

↪So the velocity will be ...

↪V = underoot 2 * 10 * 100

↪V = underoot 2000

↪V = 20 *underoot 5

↪V = 20 ( 2.23)

↪V = 44.6 m/s

The speed is represented by
nordsb [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Instantaneous velocity is equal to speed of the object at that particular instant.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of the object at that particular instant. It is also equal to speed of the object at that instant. It can be calculated by drawing a tangent to the position-time graph at that point and finding the tangent’s slope.

The first option ‘The ratio of change in position to the time interval during that change’  gives the average velocity of an object and not speed. Similarly the second option ‘the absolute value of the slope of position time graph’ gives the average speed.

If a ball is given a push so that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s down a certain inclined plane, then the distance it has ro
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

v= 13 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the derivative of displacement with respect to time

v= ds/dt

Known data

s(t) = 5t + 2t²  : distance that the ball has rolled after t seconds

vi= 5 m/s : initial velocity

t= 2 s

Problem develoment

s(t) = 5t + 2t²

v= ds/dt= 5 + 4t : velocity of the ball in function of the time

We replace t =2 s in the equation of velocity

v= 5 + 4(2)

v= 13 m/s : velocity after 2 seconds

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a) Resistivity=R.A/L

Here, R=500000ohm, L=1.6m, A=2pi* (0.14/2)*0.002 m2=0.00088.........we have converted quantities into SI units

Resistivity=R.A/L

=500000*0.00088/1.6 = 440/1.6= 275 ohm.meter

b) pskin/pinterior =275/4.8=57.3

For second part, correct option is (A), because cross section area is smaller.
