Kinetic energy is equal to half of an objects mass multiplied by the velocity squared.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Moment of inertial of four masses about axis that coincides with one side :
Out of four masses . location of two masses will lie on the axis so their moment of inertia will be zero .
Moment of inertia of the two remaining masses
= m L² + m L²
= 2 mL²
b )
Axis that bisects two opposite sides
Each of the four masses will lie at a distance of L / 2 from this axis so moment of inertia of the four masses
= 4 x m x ( L/2 )²
= 4 x mL² / 4
= m L² .
Added potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
or
Added potential energy = (weight) x (added height)
If you need to lift a 15N box 3m straight up, you have to increase its potential energy by (15 N) x (3 m) = 45 Joules .
Where is that added potential energy supposed to come from ? You could use an electric winch, a steam engine, a gasoline-powered motor, thousands of hamsters running on little treadmills that are are connected to the main pulley somehow, or your own arm muscles. But howEVER you do it, you have to provide <em>45 Joules</em> of WORK in order to increase the potential energy of the box by just that much.
The car accelerated at around ~5.7 m/s
