An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 J. What is the mass of the object? (Formula: ) KE=1/2mv squared

Julli [10]

Answer:15kg

Explanation:

kinetic energy=ke=480J

Velocity=v=8m/s

Mass=m

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

480=0.5 x m x 8 x 8

480=32m

Divide both sides by 32

480/32=32m/32

15=m

Mass=15kg

Why can't theories become laws?

shtirl [24]

Since each serves a different purpose, theories cannot become laws. Explaining how or why a natural phenomenon occurs is what the set of ideas called theories do. On the other hand, mathematical relationships that describes what happens are what is done by laws.

Let me show an example that illustrates the points. Describing what happens in the natural world are done by the mathematical formulas called the Gas Laws. In this example, it would show that by using the Gas Laws, I will be able to predict with great accuracy the pressure if I double the temperature of a sealed gas. This idea is a law since the relationship is mathematical and it tells us what will happen.

<span>On the other hand, in order to explain why gases behave like the way they do, we must use the kinetic molecular theory.</span>

Answer:

the acceleration $a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i$

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial speed v₁ = 0 m/s i.e starting from rest ; since the car accelerates at a distance Δx = 6 miles in order to teach that final speed v₂ of 63.15 km/h.

So; the acceleration for the first 6 miles can be calculated by using the formula:

v₂² = v₁² + 2a (Δx)

Making acceleration a the subject of the formula in the above expression ; we have:

v₂² - v₁² = 2a (Δx)

$a = \dfrac{v_2^2 - v_1^2 }{2 \Delta x}$

$a = \dfrac{(63.15 \ km/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (6 \ miles)}$

$a = \dfrac{(17.54 \ m/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (9.65*10^3 \ m)}$

$a =0.0159 \ m/s^2$

Thus;

Assume the car moves in the +x direction;

the acceleration $a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i$

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$0.916v_{ex}$

Explanation:

A multistage rock is also known as a step rocket and it is a form of vehicle that can use more than a rocket stage. The rocket stage typically contains propellant as well as its engine. The final speed of the rocket can be estimated using the equation below:

$v = v_{ex} ln(\frac{m_{o}}{0.4m_{o}})$ $= v_{ex}*ln(2.5) = v_{ex}*0.916 = 0.916v_{ex}$

Therefore, the maximum speed of the rocket is $0.916v_{ex}$
