1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

How fast did Newton decide a cannon ball shot out in order to escape Earth’s gravity?

Plugging in for the Earth's mass and for G, we have 11.2 km/s for the escape velocity for an object launched from the Earth's surface. This is about 25,000 miles per hour

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a

and for mB (descending):

T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a

T_A=T_B

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2

A plane leaves Seattle, flies 76.0 mi at 22.0 ∘ north of east, and then changes direction to 51.0 ∘ south of east. After flying
mote1985 [20]
This can be solve by using a triangle, because the path of the plane formed a triangle. first solve the angle form by the second direction
angle = 180 - 51 - 22 = 107 degrees
then using the cosine law
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C
c^2 = 76^2 + 123^2 - 2 ( 76) ( 123) cos ( 107)
c = 162.4 mi <span>the crew fly to go directly to the field
