A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?
1 answer:
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6.7kg
Velocity = 8m/s
Unknown parameter:
Kinetic energy = ?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;
Kinetic and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.
Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;
Kinetic energy =
where m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;
Kinetic energy = x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4J
So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4J

In order to compare the two temperatures, we need to convert 20°F into Celsius. The formula we need to use is:
Substituting 20°F, we find
And this is less than 0°C, so the answer is
20°F is colder than 0°C.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to pressure as a unit that measures the force applied in a specific area as well as pressure as a measurement of the density of the liquid to which it is subjected, its depth and the respective gravity.
The two definitions of pressure can be enclosed under the following equations
Where
F= Force
A = Area
Where,
Density
g = Gravity
h = Height
Our values are given as,
If we make a comparison between the lid and the tube, the diameter of the tube becomes negligible.
Matching the two previous expressions we have to
Re-arrange to find h
Therefore the height of water in the tube is 7.9cm
