Answer:
<em>K =400000 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy</u>
Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.
The equation for the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)
The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:
Calculating:
K =400000 J
Answer:
Her speed is 9.8 meter per second
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:
(1)
Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:
Solving for a:
Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:
(2)
With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:
Solving for Vf
