Answer:

option c  

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is due to the speed of a body.

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

When speed is doubled, the kinetic energy  is quadruple.

From third equation of motion, braking distance is also proportional to square of speed. Thus, when speed is doubled, the braking distance is quadruple.

Thus, option c is correct.

A car of mass 500kg travelling at 60m/s has it speed reduced to 40m/s by a constant breaking force over a distance of 200m. find
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

Ek1 = 400000 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember that kinetic energy is defined as the product of mass by velocity squared by a medium. Therefore using the following equation we have:

E_{k1}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v1^{2}

where:

m = mass = 500 [kg]

v1 = 60 [m/s]

So we have:

Ek1 = 0.5*500*(60^2)

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

and:

Ek2 = 0.5*500*(40^2)

Ek2 = 400000 [J]

Margaret wants to go for a swim, and decides to jump in using the diving board that measures 3-m long.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of her velocity is approximately 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity is approximately 7.878 m/s

Explanation:

The given question parameters are;

The initial velocity with which Margaret leaps, v = 8.0 m/s

The angle to the horizontal with which she jumps, θ = 80° to the horizontal

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ = v × cos(θ)

∴ vₓ = 8.0 × cos(80°) ≈ 1.389

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ ≈ 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 8.0 × sin(80°) ≈ 7.878

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y ≈ 7.878 m/s.

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2} = \frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease
