The kinetic energy of an object is given by

KE = 0.5mv²

where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

To calculate the change in kinetic energy...

Initial KE:

KEi = 0.5mVi²

where Vi is the initial velocity.

Final KE:

KEf = 0.5mVf²

where Vf is the final velocity.

ΔKE = KEf - KEi

ΔKE = 0.5mVi² - 0.5mVf²

ΔKE = 0.5m(Vf²-Vi²)

Given values:

m = 16kg

Vi = 25m/s

Vf = 20m/s

Plug in the given values and solve for ΔKE:

ΔKE = 0.5×16×(20²-25²)

ΔKE = -1800J

A 300 gg ball on a 70-cmcm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cmcm above the floor. The string suddenly

Ratling [72]

Answer:

the tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the ball m = 300 g = 0.300 kg

length of the string r = 70 cm = 0.7 m

At highest point, law of conservation of energy can be expressed as :

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}\\\\v = \sqrt{2*(9.8 \ m/s^2)*(6.00 \ m - 2.00 \ m)}\\\\$

$v = 8.854 \ m/s$

The tension in the string is:

$T = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\T = \frac{(0.300 \ kg)*(8.854 \ m/s^2)}{0.70 \ m}\\\\T = 33.59 N\\\\T = 34 \ N$

Thus, the tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N

The intensity of light from a star varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet ten times farther aw

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

What causes earth to have a complete year

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Earth's Tilt and The Seasons. Earth, like all of the planets in the Solar System, travels around the Sun. One complete orbit of the Sun is known as a year and it takes Earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds to complete an orbit. The changing seasons are caused by the fact that Earth is tilted. please vote me brainliest i can't message no one cuz i haven't got enough points i'm desperate.

0.074m/s

Explanation:

We need the formula for conservation of momentum in a collision, this equation is given by,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$
