How fast would the car need to go to double its kinetic energy?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2}\cdot v_{o}$

Explanation:

Let consider a car travelling at a speed $v_{o}$ . The ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy:

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}_{f} }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}_{o}} = 2$

$\frac{v_{f}}{v_{o}} = \sqrt{2}$

The final speed is:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{2}\cdot v_{o}$

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed is same as that before it entered glass.

Explanation:

Given:

A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.

We have to analyze its speed.

Speed of light in air is $3\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$ and speed of light in glass is $2.25\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$

Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.

So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.

Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.

Finally

Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

Find the orbital speed v for a satellite in a circular orbit of radius R.Express the orbital speed in terms of G, M, and R.

AlekseyPX

<h2>Answer: $V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the gravity constant

$M$ the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

$R$ the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

Which two options would INCREASE the electric force between two charged particles?

atroni [7]

The electric force between two charged particles can be increased by decreasing the distance between the two particles.

<h3>How to increase electric force between two charged particles.</h3>

The technique of decreasing the separation distance between objects increases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects. while

increasing the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects.
