If an object starts out at rest and accelerates to 100 m/s, what is its initial speed?

1 answer:

6 0

No. Sadly, you're not right. The whole problem here is the meaning of a few words. "Starts out"is the same thing as "initial" conditions. "At rest" is the same thing as not moving ... zero speed. So if an object starts out at rest, that says that its initial speed is zero ... choice 'b'.

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(10)²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (600)(100)

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Elza [17]

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w

myrzilka [38]

The centripetal acceleration is given by
$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, $a_c = 15.625 m/s^2$ and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
$v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s$
