What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 50kg and is and it is traveling at a rate of 60m/s.
liq [111]

Answer:

90,000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where <em>m </em>is the mass in kilograms and <em>v</em> is the velocity in m/s.

We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.

<em>m</em>=50

<em>v</em>=60

Substitute these values into the formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*60^2

First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.

60^2=60*60=3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*3,600

Multiply 50 and 3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*180,000

Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.

KE=90,000

Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.

KE=90,000 Joules

The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules

The potential energy of a negative charge moved from point A to point B will increase.A negative charge moved from point A to po
AysviL [449]

Answer:

<em>The K.E from A to B won't increase...</em>

Explanation:

That's because the P.E from A to B is increasing. The K.E will increase if charge moves from a higher potential to a lower potential i.e., from B to A.

That is the reason there is no effect on net K.E when moving from a potential to same potential over and over (A to C).

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds
