Explanation:
A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.
The circumference is
where <em>d</em> is the diameter of the wheel.
300,000 rotations =
In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km
Explanation:
The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :
...........(1)
Where
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of object
It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.
So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".
