A small 22 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy

2 answers:

4 0

Kinetic energy is simply 1/2 *mass* velocity^2
so since you know both mass and velocity you should be able to calculate the kinetic energy.

A student on a raft floating behind the canoe says the canoe has NO kinetic energy.
A teacher standing on the riverbank when the canoe floats by says it has 44 joules of KE.
They're both correct.

A red laser with a wavelength of 670 nm and a blue laser with a wavelength of 450 nm emit laser beams with the same light power.

E=hf C=wavelength*F

E=hC/wavelength

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/670*10^-9

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/450*10^-9

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:
