Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.
Kinetic energy is greatest at the lowest point of a roller coaster and least at the highest point
You get a lot of detailed information. hope this helped :)
Answer:
Explanation:
Block A sits on block B and force is applied on block A . Block A will experience two forces 1) force P and 2 ) friction force in opposite direction of motion . Block B will experience one force that is force of friction in the direction of motion .
Let force on block A be P . friction force on it will be equal to kinetic friction, that is μ mg , where μ is coefficient of friction and m is mass of block A
friction force = .4 x 2.5 x 9.8
= 9.8 N
net force on block A = P - 9.8
acceleration = ( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5
force on block B = 9.8
acceleration = force / mass
= 9.8 / 6
for common acceleration
( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5 = 9.8 / 6
( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5 = 1.63333
P = 13.88 N .
