A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the

mass of the bike?

Answer:

 Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

  1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.

A 150 g baseball is traveling horizontally at 50 m/s. If the ball takes 20 ms to stop once it is in contact with the catcher’s g
Sliva [168]
To solve for force, you need to get the product of mass and acceleration. 
F = ma

Your given is:
m = 150g
a = ?
v = 50 m/s
t = 20ms

As you can see, you do not have acceleration yet. But if you read the problem you can come up with the formula of acceleration. 
Acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time.

a = change in velocity/time

To get the change in velocity, you get the difference between the initial velocity and final velocity:

a =  \frac{vf-vi}{t}

The ball was moving initially at a velocity of 50 m/s and it came to a stop. This is your clue. If a ball comes to a stop then that means that the final velocity of the ball is 0 m/s. 

So we can put it into our formula now:

a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{20ms}

WAIT! As you can see, the units do not match. We have ms and s into our equation and that means you cannot proceed till they are the same. First we need to convert ms to s. 

20ms x \frac{1s}{1000ms} = \frac{20s}{1000} = 0.02s

So your new time is 0.02s. Now we put this time into the formula:


a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{0.02s}
a =  \frac{-50m/s}{0.02s}  = -2,500 m/ s^{2}

As you can see our acceleration is a negative value, this indicates that it decelerated or slowed down which makes sense because it was brought to a stop. 

So now we have our acceleration. Now using this, we can get our force. 

F= ma

Before we start doing this, you need to take note that the unit of force is N, but when you expand it, it is kg.m/ s^{2} but as you can see our mass given is in grams. So again, before you put them into the equation we need to change it into kg first. 

150g =  \frac{1kg}{1,000g}  =  \frac{150kg}{1,000}  = 0.150kg

Our new mass is 0.150kg. 

To make things clearer, let us write down all our new values:

m = 0.150kg
a = -2,500 m/ s^{2}

Now that all our units match, we can put that into our formula:

F= ma
F= (0.150kg)(-2,500m/s^{2})
F = -375kg.m/ s^{2}  or -375N

The value again is negative because it is going against the initial direction of the ball. But if your instructor just wants to get the value of force or the magnitude of the force, just disregard the sign.

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is
il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.
