Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed. As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

$P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant$

This implies the following;

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1)$ Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

$P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L$

From equation (1), we can write;

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm$

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.

If the student hit a drum in his bedroom how would the sound wave behave differently than if he hit it in a swimming pool? Pleas

zlopas [31]

The sound wave would behave differently in a swimming pool than in his bedroom because sound waves travel faster in more dense mediums; such as water. The wave will travel faster in water, and slower in air.

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the

8090 [49]

Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2

t = 0.4064 s

whereas the horizontal motion is computed by:

x = (vx)t

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s)

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed.

(vy) = gt

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s)

(vy) = 3.99 m/s

speed with which it hit the ground:

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²]

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²]

v = 12.12 m / s

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m

olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

$v = v_0 -gt$

Here,

v = Final velocity

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

$-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)$

$v_0 = 9.2m/s$

Now the position can be calculated as,

$y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

$0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2$

$h = 41.6m$

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground

Ch 31 HW Exercise 31.10 7 of 15 Constants You want the current amplitude through a inductor with an inductance of 4.90 mH (part

sergey [27]

Answer:

f = 130 Khz

Explanation:

In a circuit driven by a sinusoidal voltage source, there exists a fixed relationship between the amplitudes of the current and the voltage through any circuit element, at any time.

For an inductor, this relationship can be expressed as follows:

VL = IL * XL (1) , which is a generalized form of Ohm's Law.

XL is called the inductive reactance, and is defined as follows:

XL = ω*L = 2*π*f*L, where f is the frequency of the sinusoidal source (in Hz) and L is the value of the inductance, in H.

Replacing in (1), by the values given of VL, IL, and L, we can solve for f, as follows:

f = VL / 2*π*IL*L = 12 V / 2*π*(3.00*10⁻³) A* (4.9*10⁻³) H = 130 Khz
