Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (400 kg) (50 m/s)²

KE = (200 kg) (2500 m²/s²)

KE = 500,000 kg-m²/s²

<em>KE = 500,000 Joules</em>

KE = 1/2 Mega-Joule

A car driver traveling at a speed of 108km per hour ,sees a traffic light and stopped after travelling for 20seconds .Find the a
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

– 2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

We have,

• Initial velocity, u = 180 km/h = 50 m/s

• Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (it stops)

• Time taken, t = 20 seconds

We have to find acceleration, a.

\longrightarrow a = (v ― u)/t

\longrightarrow a = (0 – 50)/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = –50/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 5/2 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 2.5 m/s² (Velocity is decreasing) [Answer]

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 ​m/s reaches a height of sequalsminu
Anarel [89]

Answer:

v = -1.8t+36

20 seconds

360 m

40 seconds

36 m/s

The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Explanation:

s=-0.9t^2+36t

Differentiating with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow v=-1.8t+36

a) Velocity of the object after t seconds is v = -1.8t+36

At the highest point v will be 0

0=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{-36}{-1.8}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

b) The object will reach the highest point after 20 seconds

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow s=-0.9\times 20^2+36\times 20\\\Rightarrow s=360\ m

c) Highest point the object will reach is 360 m

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow 360=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow -0.9t^2+36t-360=0\\\Rightarrow -9t^2+360t-3600=0

\frac{-360\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\left(-9\right)}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

d) Time taken to strike the ground would be 20+20 = 40 seconds

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.9\times 2\times 20\\\Rightarrow v=36\ m/s

Acceleration will be taken as positive because the object is going down. Hence, the sign changes. 2 is multiplied because the expression is given in the form of s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

e) The velocity with which the object strikes the ground will be 36 m/s

f) The speed will increase when the object has gone up and for 20 seconds and falls down for 20 seconds. The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

katovenus [111]

Answer: ​Wernicke's aphasia

Explanation:

John recently suffered a blow to his head. Since then, he finds it difficult to comprehend what others say to him. He also finds it difficult to express his thoughts and cannot seem to find the right words to say while speaking. However, he can speak freely with proper syntax. In this scenario, John is most likely suffering from Wernicke's aphasia.

Wernicke's aphasia occurs when the leftward side of the middle of the brain is damaged or has been altered. An individual who suffers from Wernicke's aphasia will have difficulty in speaking in meaningful and coherent sentences or may have difficulty in understanding the speech of others.
