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 penny is dropped from the top of a building that is 300.0 m tall. Calculate the speed of the penny as it hits the ground. (met
Sauron [17]

We have the equation of motion s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting

   300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 m/s^2 and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

     v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.

Calculate the acceleration of a 270000-kg jumbo jet just before takeoff when the thrust on the aircraft is 160000 N .
Radda [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.59 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{160000}{270000}  =  \frac{16}{27}  \\  = 0.592592...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.59 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

65. The weight of a body when totally immersed in a liquid is 4.2N if he weight of the liquid displaced is 2.5N. Find the weight
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Given, Apparent weight(W₂)=4.2N

          Weight of liquid displaced (u)=2.5N

          Let weight of body in air = W₁

Solution,

             U=W₁-W₂

              W₁=4.2=2.5=6.7N

∴Weight of body in air is 6.7N

IF you are in Space and push a bowling what happens to you and the bowling ball?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The bowling ball did not change size or shape- the only thing that changed was the amount of gravity that pulls on it. But the mass of the bowling ball would never change. A bowling ball with a mass of 12 pounds on earth will have the mass of 12 pounds on the moon! Mass is the amount of atoms that a space fills.

Explanation:

I hope this helps! :D
