If a force does a positive amount of work on an object, does the object's speed

Physics

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago

The speed of the object increases

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

W is the work done on the object

K_f, K_i are the final and initial kinetic energy of the object, respectively

m is the mass of the object

v is its final speed

u is its initial speed

In this case, the force does a positive amount of work on the object, so

W>0

This also implies that

K_f > K_i

And so

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 > \frac{1}{2}mu^2

And therefore

v>u

which means that the speed of the object increases.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.

In a typical rear-end collision, the victim's ________ is/are accelerated faster and harder than the torso
Georgia [21]

The victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than the torso when the victom is involved in a typical rear-end collision.

The traffic accident where a vehicle crashes into another vehicle that is directly in front of it is called a rear-end collision.

 

One of the most common accident in the United States is the rear-end collision, and in a lot of cases, rear-end collisions are prompted by drivers who are inattentive, unfavorable conditions of the road, and poor following distance.

 

<span>An enough room in front of your car so you can stop when the car in front of you stops suddenly is one basic driving rule. The person isn’t driving safely if he / she is behind you and couldn’t stop.</span>

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,
madreJ [45]

Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

A train travels 200km/hr. how much distance will the train be from the station in 2.5 hours?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

500km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed  = 200km/hr

Time taken  = 2.5hrs

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the speed, time and distance equation.

   Therefore;

  Distance  = Speed x time

So;

  Distance  = 200 x 2.5  = 500km
