Answer: 9

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) by which it moves i.e K.E = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2

So, car is traveling 120 km/h

KE = 1/2x m x (120 km/h)^2

KE = 0.5 x m x 14400

KE1 = 7200m

So, car is traveling 40 km/h

KE = 1/2x m x (40 km/h)^2

KE = 0.5 x m x 1600

KE2 = 800m

Now, divide the value of kinetic energy obtained during 120 km/h by that obtained during 40 km/h

i.e 7200m / 800m

= 9

Thus, the kinetic energy will be 9 times more at a speed of 120 km/h than at 40 km/h

If the volume of an object is reported as 5.0 ft3 what is the volume in cubic meters

12345 [234]

The problem statement is simply asking us to convert units. We convert from units of ft^3 to units of m^3. To do this, we need a conversion factor. For this case, we use 1 m is equal to 3.28084 ft. We do as follows:

5.0 ft^3 ( 1 m / 3.28084 ft )^3 = 0.1416 m^3

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i

attashe74 [19]

Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be
$\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}$

The applied force is
$\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}
$

By definition, the applied torque is
$\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}$

Answer: $12.5y \, \hat{k}$

A planet in our solar system is located far from the sun describe the size and composition of the planet

Brilliant_brown [7]

Well first we can tell that it will be very cold. For ex. Earth is fairly close to the sun. It gets pretty hot whenever the sun is out. Therefore we know being closer to the sun creates warmth on the planet. And as you can see on the picture of the solar system I attached, it seems as if the planet gets bigger the further away from the sun. So I would appose cold and big. <span />
