Fossil fuels like coal for instance , when they are provided with heat energy (heating them) they start producing Kinetic energy . This kinetic energy will be passed along a turbine which transforms this K.E to an electrical energy used in different useful forms.

A car is traveling with a velocity of 40 m/s and has a mass of 1120 kg. The car has ___ energy
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2(1120)(40^2)

KE = 560(1600)

KE = 896000

Let me know if this helps!

The x-coordinates of two objects moving along the x-axis are given as a function of time (t). x1= (4m/s)t x2= -(161m) + (48m/s)t
Kitty [74]
The two displacement functions are
x₁ = 4t
x₂ = -161 + 48t - 4t²
where
x₁, x₂ are in meters
t is time, s

The distance between the two objects is
x = x₁ - x₂
   =  4t + 161 - 48t + 4t²
x = 4t² - 44t + 161

Write this equation in the standard form for a parabola.
x = 4[t² - 11t] + 161
  = 4[ (t - 5.5)² - 5.5² ] + 161
 x = 4(t-5)² + 40

Ths is a parabola that faces up and has its vertex (lowest point) at (5, 40).
Therefore the closest approach of the two objects is 40 m.
The graph of x versus t confirms the result.

Answer: The distance of the closest approach is 40 m.

Un ladrón viaja en un auto a una velocidad excesiva de 30m/s, en dicho momento un policía de tránsito, lo observa y monta en su
tester [92]

Answer:

t = 12 s

Explanation:

To find the time in which the police reaches the thief you write the equation of motion of both thief and police:

The thief has a constant velocity, the position is then given by:

x=vt     (1)

The police has an acceleration, then the position is:

x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2   (2)

the time in which the police reaches the thief is when their positions are equal, that is, when expression (1) equals expression (2). But before you calculate the acceleration of the police:

a=\frac{v-v_o}{t}\\\\v_o=0m/s\\\\a=\frac{50m/s}{10s}=5\frac{m}{s^2}

you replace this values in (2) and you equal the expression (1) and (2) (with vo = 0):

vt=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\frac{1}{2}at^2-vt=0\\\\(\frac{1}{2}at-v)t=0

one root is t = 0s, but it is omitted because is the momment in which the thief pass in front of the police. The other root is:

\frac{1}{2}at-v=0\\\\t=\frac{2v}{a}=\frac{(2)(30m/s)}{5m/s^2}=12s

hence, the time is 12 s
