Explain how objects in motion have kinetic energy, use examples

1 answer:

8 0

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion, there for if an object is moving, it has kinetic energy.
Example; A roller coaster sitting on top of hill has potential energy. When it starts to move and is going down the hill, it has kinetic energy. :)

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force = $\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )$

=360 N

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$

$sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}$

(b)Moment about Ground Point

$740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

$N_1tan\theta =1140$

$N_1=171 N$

$N_1=f=171 N$

(c)

$740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore $N_1=360 N$

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

$360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5$

740x=2000

x=2.702m

What is the numerical value, in meters per second squared, of the acceleration of an object experiencing true free fall?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

9.8 m/s/s

Explanation:

The numerical value, in meters per second squared, of the acceleration of an object experiencing true free fall is 9.8 m/s/s. This is called the acceleration due to gravity.

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15 m apart. By means of a rope, the girl exerts a 5.2 N for

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(a) $a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) $a_s=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

(a) According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to it's mass.

$a_s=\frac{F}{m_s}\\a_s=\frac{5.2N}{8.4kg}\\a_s=0.62\frac{m}{s^2}$

(b) According to Newton's third law, the force that the sled exerts on the girl is equal in magnitude but opposite in the direction of the force that the girl exerts on the sled:

$a_g=\frac{F}{m_g}\\a_g=\frac{5.2N}{40kg}\\a_g=0.13\frac{m}{s^2}$

$x_f=x_0+v_0t \pm \frac{at^2}{2}$

For the girl, we have $x_0=0$ and $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_g=\frac{a_gt^2}{2}(1)$

For the sled, we have $v_0=0$ . So:

$x_f_s=x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}(2)$

When they meet, the final positions are the same. So, equaling (1) and (2) and solving for t:

$x_0_s-\frac{a_st^2}{2}=\frac{a_st^2}{2}\\t^2(a_g+a_s)=2x_0_s\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x_s_0}{a_g+a_s}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(15m)}{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}+0.62\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=6.32s$

Now, we solve (1) for $x_f_g$

$x_f_g=\frac{0.13\frac{m}{s^2}(6.32s)^2}{2}\\x_f_g=2.6m\\x_f=2.6m$
