Line c is at rest . line a is going in a positive direction . line b is going in a negative direction . line d is negative too
Answer: KE = 62.5J
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of object = 5kg
kinetic energy KE = ?
velocity of object = 5m/s
Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.
i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2
KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25
KE = 62.5J
Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.
Answer:
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;
K1 = 1/2mv²
For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;
K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²
K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)
K2 = (3m)(8v²)
K2 = 24mv²
To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;
K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²
K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)
K2/K1 = 48
K2 = 48K1
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
