Answer:
25J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the dog = 10kg
Speed of the dog = 5m/s
Unknown:
The minimum energy required to stop the dog = ?
Solution:
The dog is moving with a kinetic energy and to stop the dog, an equal amount of kinetic energy generated must be applied to the dog.
To find the kinetic energy;
K.E = m v²
m is the mass
v is the velocity
Now insert the parameters and solve;
K.E = x 10 x 5 = 25J
Answer:
(a) 2.5 m/s
(b) 37.5 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum
and making
the subject then
and since
is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s,
is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and
is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution
(b)
Initial kinetic energy is given by
Final kinetic energy is given by
The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence
Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ
