Answer:

½mv²= KE

½(1000)?²= 50000

500 500

? ²=100

Square root

?= 10

10 m/s is you answer

K.E = 1/2mv^2

The kinetic energy is 50,000 J and the mass of the car is 10,000 kg.

50,000 J = 1/2(10,000kg)v^2
Solve for v (velocity)
50,000 J = 5,000 kg x v^2
10 = v^2
$\sqrt{10} = v$
about 3 m/s (in terms of significant figures)

According to newton's second law, if you have an object that is put under acceleration due to a force, how could you reduce the

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

We could reduce the force or increase the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Using the definition of force, according to Newton's second law, (F = ma) the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass. Therefore, if we want to reduce the acceleration of an object we have two options:

We could reduce the force
We could increase the mass

In both cases a will decrease.

I hope it helps you!

A light bulb emitting 1750 Im of luminous flux shines on a book that is 3.0

denis-greek [22]

The illumination of the book is found to be approximately equal to 15 lx.

Option 1.

Explanation:

Luminous flux is the measure of power of the light emitted from a source and illumination is the property of the light to illuminate a given surface when it falls on the surface. So the measure of the region the light flux illuminates the surface is termed as illumination.

As here the luminous flux is given as 1759 lm and the distance of the object which has to be illuminated is placed 3 m away from the source ,the illumination is found to be directly proportional to the luminous flux and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

$illumination = \frac{Luminous flux}{4\pi d^{2} } \\\\illumination = \frac{1750}{4*3.14*3*3} = 15.48 lx = 15 lx$
