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.

Why are elements considered finite
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is the simulation of any given physical phenomenon using the numerical technique called Finite Element Method (FEM). Engineers use it to reduce the number of physical prototypes and experiments and optimize components in their design phase to develop better products, faster.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th
timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window h=2.9\ m

time Frame for which rock can be seen is \Delta t=0.134\ s

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover h+2.9 is t_1

so using equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where  y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h  is

h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)

5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))

and from equation t_1-t_2=0.134\ s

so t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}

t_1+t_2=4.416\ s

and t_1=t_2+\Delta t

so t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416

2t_2+0.134=4.416

t_2=0.5\times 4.282

t_2=2.141\ s

substitute the value of t_2 in equation 2

h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2

h=22.46\ m
