When you throw a ball the work you do to accelerate it equals the kinetic energy the ball gains?

1 answer:

7 0

In short yes. However, lets say you lift a ball of the ground. and release it. you do not accelerate it by any means however it has kinetic energy as it is clearly moving. what happened there is the distance from the ground is potential energy once you release it it becomes kinetic energy.

when you throw a ball you use the potential stored energy in your muscles and convert it to kinetix energy as you move your hand. at the release the ball has gained nearly all that energy. some is lost in heat and friction.

A 20-liter container contains 2.0 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. the average kinetic energy of translation of oxygen m

Vikentia [17]

From ideal gas law, PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

Hence, $T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{92*10^{3}*2.0*10^{-3}}{2*3.314}$

T= 110.65 k

Kinetic Energy = $\frac{3}{2}KT=\frac{3}{2} (1.38*10^{-23})(110.65)$

K.E= $2.2*10^{-21}J$

<h3>What is a kinetic energy? </h3>

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. After the work is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transferred and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy and transported between objects. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's initial kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the collision.

<h3>What is visible spectrum?</h3>

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eyes. All other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum are invisible.

The question is incomplete as the details are missing. The visible spectrum is composed of red, orange,yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo.

Ahmad is riding his bicycle. He finds that he can accelerate from rest at 0.44 m/s^2 for 5 s to reach a speed of 2.2 m/s. The to

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.

You add 500 mL of water at 10°C to 100 mL of water at 70°C. What is the

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Option (c) : 20°C

Explanation:

$t(final) = \frac{w1 \times t1 + w2 \times t2}{w1 + w2}$

T(final) = 500* 10 + 100*70/600 = 20°C

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms
