How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?

1 answer:

8 0

The kinetic energy is the work done by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. In this problem, you have two vehicles, the other one is large and the other one is small. Let us assume that they travel with the same velocity. Note that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object. So when you increase the mass of the other, it also increases the kinetic energy of that object. The same holds true for the two vehicles. The larger the vehicle, its kinetic energy is also large and therefore its stopping distance will be longer than that of the smaller vehicle.

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be $8.05m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child $\omega =1.25rad/sec$

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration $\alpha =0.745rad/sec^2$

We know that linear velocity is given by $v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec$

We know that radial acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2$

Tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^$

So total acceleration will be $a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2$

Which substances resist pH changes? Acids Hydrogen ions Buffers Bases

Vikki [24]

The correct choice is Buffers.

Buffers contains both acids and bases in equilibrium.when base is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by releasing hydrogen ions.when acid is added to buffers, they adjust the pH value by consuming hydrogen ions. hence these substances resist any change in their pH value by releasing or absorbing hydrogen ions.This process keeps the pH value constant.
