You are going sledding with your little cousins during a well-earned break. You push your 23 kg cousin so that they have a speed

of 6 m/s at the top of the hill that is 17 m tall. What is the kinetic energy of your cousin at the top of the hill (after you push)? (in J)

Answer:

kinetic energy = 414 J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 23 kg  

speed = 6 m/s  

height = 17 m    

to find out

kinetic energy

solution

we get kinetic energy that is express as

kinetic energy = 0.5 × m × v²    ..........................1

here m is mass and v is speed so

put here value we get kinetic energy

kinetic energy = 0.5 × 23 × 6²

kinetic energy = 414 J

Answer:

414 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 23 kg

velocity, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K = 0.5 mv²

K = 0.5 x 23 x 6 x 6

K = 414 J

Thus, the kinetic energy is 414 J.

A 5000-kg freight car crashes into a 10,000-kg freight car at rest. They couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. W
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

The ________-year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Su
Evgen [1.6K]

22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

What are sunspots?

Sunspots are caused by disturbances in the Sun's magnetic field welling up to the Sun's visible surface.

Sunspot are region of the earth that are more darker than other surfaces. They have a reduced temperature.

If sunspots are active, more solar flares will result creating an increase in geomagnetic storm activity for Earth.

Here, the sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years. So, for reversal polarity of the sun, 22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

A 3 kg rock sits on a 0.8 meter ledge. If it is pushed off, how fast will it be going at the bottom?
andrey2020 [161]

As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

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

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
