Answer:

Magnitude = 14 metres

Direction = eastward.

Explanation:

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward.

Whats the Magnitude and Direction?

The magnitude and direction will be the displacement of the cross country skier.

Let the east ward be positive and the west ward be negative.

Since the skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward. Then, that will be:

36 - 44 + 22 = 14

Since the answer is positive, the magnitude is 14 and the direction is east ward.

Under what conditions will a moving 0.030 kg marble and a moving 2.43 kg rock have the same kinetic energy

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

To have the same kinetic energy the speed of the marble must be 9 times the speed of rock.

Explanation:

The general formula of kinetic energy is given as follows:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of the object

v = speed of the object

So, for the marble and rock to have same kinetic energy, we can write:

$K.E_{marble} = K.E_{rock}\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_{marble}v_{marble}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}m_{rock}v_{rock}^{2}\\\\(0.03\ kg)v_{marble}^{2} = (2.43\ kg)v_{rock}^{2}\\\\taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides:\\v_{marble} = \sqrt{\frac{2.43\ kg}{0.03\ kg}}v_{rock}\\\\v_{marble} = 9\ v_{rock}$
