A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
3 0

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  = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

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  = \frac{1}{2} x 6.7 x 8²   = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is  214.4‬J

Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 2.7 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Option D is correct: 170 µW/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f = 800kHz

Distance d = 2.7km = 2700m

Electric field Eo = 0.36V/m

Intensity of radio signal

The intensity of radial signal is given as

I = c•εo•Eo²/2

Where c is speed of light

c = 3×10^8m/s

εo = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/Nm²

I = 3×10^8 × 8.85×10^-12 × 0.36²/2

I = 1.72 × 10^-4W/m²

I = 172 × 10^-6 W/m²

I = 172 µW/m²

Then, the intensity of the radio wave at that point is approximately 170 µW/m²

A 1.60 m tall person lifts a 2.10-kg book from the ground so it is 2.20 m above the ground. What is the potential energy of the
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of book(m)=2.1 kg

height up to which book is lifted is (h)2.2 m

height of person (h_0)1.6 m

Potential energy of book relative to ground=mgh

PE=2.1\times 9.8\times 2.2=45.276 J

(b)PE w.r.t to person head =mg(h-h0)

=2.1\times 9.8\times (2.2-1.6)=12.348 J

work done by person in lifting box 2.2 m w.r.t floor

Word done =Potential Energy of box relative to floor=45.2 J

In a football game, the running back takes a handoff and begins running toward midfield at 3.21 yards/s . As he moves through hi
Inessa [10]

Given Information:

Initial speed = u = 3.21 yards/s

Acceleration = α  = 1.71 yards/s²

Final speed = v = 7.54 yards/s

Required Information:

Distance = s = ?

Answer:

Distance = s = 13.61

Explanation:

We are given the speeds and acceleration of the runner and we want to find out how much distance he covered before being tackled.

We know from the equations of motion,

v² = u² + 2αs

Where u is the initial speed of the runner, v is the final speed of the runner, α is the acceleration of the runner and s is the distance traveled by the runner.

Re-arranging the above equation for distance yields,

2αs = v² - u²

s = (v² - u²)/2α

s = (7.54² - 3.21²)/2×1.71

s = 46.55/3.42

s = 13.61 yards

Therefore, the runner traveled a distance of 13.61 yards before being tackled.

Lori’s family is on a road trip. They split their drive into the five legs listed in the table. Find the average velocity for ea
NARA [144]
It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !
