Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.

Directions: Read each statement and determine if it is describing speed or
baherus [9]

Answer:

Find answers below.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.

2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.

3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.

4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.

5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.

6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.

7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.

8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.

When an excited electron falls from n = 3 to n = 2, a red radiation in the Balmer series emitted. What is the frequency of this
vichka [17]

Answer:

The frequency of this photon is 4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Excited states,

n=3

n=2

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula for energy

E=13.6(\dfrac{1}{n^2}-\dfrac{1}{m^2})

E=13.6(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{9})

E=1.888\ eV

E=1.888\times1.6\times10^{-19}\ J

E=3.0208\times10^{-19}\ J

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

E=hf

f=\dfrac{E}{h}

Where, E =energy

f=\dfrac{3.0208\times10^{-19}}{6.63\times10^{-34}}

f=4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of this photon is 4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz

A rock at the top of a 30 meter cliff has a mass of 25 kg. Calculate the rock’s gravitational potential energy when dropped off
nalin [4]

Potential energy =

                     (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the reference level) .

Relative to the bottom of the cliff, the potential energy
at the top of the cliff is

                         (25kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (30 meters)

                     =  (25 x 9.8 x 30)  kg-m²/s²

                     =        7,350 joules .

Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed²)

The rock's kinetic energy at the bottom is
the same as its potential energy at the top.

                                        7,350 joules = (1/2) x (25 kg) x (speed²)

Divide each side
by 12.5kg :                7,350 joules/12.5 kg  =  speed²

                                 7,350 kg-m²/s² / 12.5kg  =  speed²

                                 (7,350 / 12.5)  m²/s²  =  speed²

                                      588 m²/s²  =  speed²
Take the square root
of each side:            
                                   Speed = √(588 m²/s²) 

                                             =  24.248... m/s       (rounded)
