A small 21 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

1 answer:

8 0

Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object.
Kinetic energy can be calculated using the following equation;
K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$
where - m - mass of object
v - speed of object
substituting the values in the equation
K.E = 1/2 x 21 kg x (1 m/s)²
K.E = 10.5 J

If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC discharge thr

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Resistance in the flash tube, $R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the bullet, v = 500 m/s

Distance between one RC constant, d = 1 mm = 0.001 m

Capacitance, $C=503\ \mu F=503\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The time constant of RC circuit is given by :

$\tau=RC$

R is the resistance in the flash tube

$R=\dfrac{\tau}{C}$ ..........(1)

Speed of the bullet is given by total distance divided by total time taken as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{\tau}$

$\tau=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$\tau=\dfrac{0.001}{500}$

$\tau=0.000002\ s$

Equation (1) becomes :

$R=\dfrac{0.000002}{503\times 10^{-6}}$

$R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$

So, the resistance in the flash tube is $3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

<h3>Is kinetic energy always equal to potential energy?</h3>

The amount of kinetic energy change and the amount of potential energy change are equal in all physical processes that take place in closed systems. When the kinetic energy rises, the potential energy falls, and vice versa.

Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system as a result of its position or component arrangement. However, external factors like air or height have no effect on it. The energy of a moving object or system is referred to as kinetic energy.

Potential energy = kinetic energy

Potential energy = 1/2mv²

Potential energy = 1/2 × 67×7.3

Potential energy = 489.1 J.
