Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that the body possesses by virtue of its motion.

The formula for Kinetic energy is given by $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Using this formula let us find kinetic energy for the bodies given and find out which is the greatest

A) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (4m)(v^2) = 2mv^2$

B) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3m)(2v)^2 = 6mv^2$

C) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (2m)(3v)^2 = 9mv^2$

D) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3)(4v)^2 = 8mv^2$

Comparing these we find that 9mv^2 is the highest.

Hence option C is the answer.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

306,284,275,000

Explanation:

If 209g was made by 1 cow you would multiply 209 by 4,015,000 and if you are trying to find how much was made in a year get that number and multiply it by 365.

Two students try to move a heavy box. One pushes with the force of the 20N while the other pulls with a force of 30N in the same

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time is not part of the Work equation. That's the only conclusion that you can come to.

Work = Force * distance.

Not enough information is given to go any further. You don't have enough information to calculate the distance.

We don't know if the box can be moved or not. It says heavy. 50 N is really not very much.

I would guess that you are intended to answer that the box didn't move, but it's really hard to tell.

Water flows with constant speed through a garden hose that goes up to 27.5 cm high. if the water pressure is 132kpa at the botto

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ( $v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}$ ):

$p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$ (1)

$p_{bottom}$ , $p_{top}$ - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that $p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.275\,m$ , then the pressure at the top of the step is:

$p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$

$p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)$

$p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa$

$p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa$

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

A drop of oil of volume 10m it spread out on water to make a circular firm of radius 10m calculate the tickness of the firm

Effectus [21]

Answer:

h = 3.1 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of a oil drop, V = 10 m

Radius, r = 10 m

We need to find the thickness of the film. The film is in the form of a cylinder whose volume is as follows :

$V=\pi r^2 h\\\\h=\dfrac{V}{\pi r^2}\\\\h=\dfrac{10}{\pi \times 10^2}\\\\h=0.031\ m\\\\h=3.1\ cm$

So, the thickness of the film is equal to 3.1 cm.
