Read through the scenarios below and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the object compared to a 50 kg ball tra

veling at 10 m/s. A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have kinetic energy. A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have kinetic energy. A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have kinetic energy.

The formula for kinetic energy is  KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

== The 50 kg ball traveling at 10 m/s has <em>some</em> kinetic energy.  

== A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would be moving at double the speed.  So it would have (2)² = <em>4 times as much</em> kinetic energy.

== A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would be moving at 1/2 the speed. So it would have (1/2)² = <em>1/4 as much</em> kinetic energy.

== A 50 kg <u>person</u> falling at 10 m/s would have <em>exactly the same</em> amount of kinetic energy as the 50 kg <u>ball</u> traveling at 10 m/s.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have <u>4 times more</u> kinetic energy.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have <u>4 times less</u> kinetic energy.

A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have <u>the same</u> kinetic energy.

Why?

Because:

Give an example of where you see the law of conservation of energy in your life
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C
Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm    (760torr =1atm)

V_1 = initial volume = 5.68 L

V_2 = final volume = 2.35  L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

1L.atm=101.33J

So, 3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J

Answer:

3.6\times10^{23} N

Explanation:

F=\frac{GmM}{r^2}=4\times10^{22} N

F'=\frac{GmM}{(r/3)^2}=9\frac{GmM}{r^2}=9\times4\times10^{22}=3.6\times10^{23} N
