Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (17 m/s)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (400 kg) (289 m²/s²)

<em>Kinetic energy = 57,800 Joules</em>

(That's some amazing house. I'd like to be there to see it.)

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

- 4.1 m/s² = (-9 m/s) / (time for the change)

Time for the change = (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²) = 2.2 seconds

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

$V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

$V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H$

$V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

We know as well by definition that

$1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3$

Then we have for the statement that

$V_f = V_0 -1gal$

$V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}$

Replacing the previous data

$\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}$

$\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}$

Solving to get h,

$h = 1.99963m$

Therefore the change is

$\Delta h = H-h$

$\Delta h = 2- 1.99963$

$\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm$

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

A 1,000 kg car is driving on a 15 m high bridge at 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$KE=12,500J$

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

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

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}*1000kg*(5m/s)^2$

$KE = 500kg*25m^2/s^2$

$KE=12,500J$
