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.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m

Question 1 (1 point)
Dmitry [639]

1). trajectory

2). person sitting in a chair

3). 490 meters

4). 65 m/s

5). False.  The projectile's displacement, velocity, and acceleration have vertical and horizontal components, but the projectile doesn't.

6). False

7). The vertical component of a projectile doesn't change due to gravity, but the vertical components of its displacement, velocity, and acceleration do.

The vertical components do NOT equal the horizontal components.

8). Decreasing if you include the effects of air resistance.  Constant if you don't.  Gravity has no effect on horizontal velocity.

9). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile doesn't have jets on it, then as it travels upward, its vertical velocity must decrease, because gravity is trying to not let it get away.

10). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile is traveling downward, we would call that "falling", and its vertical velocity must increase, because gravity is pulling it downward.
