           Kinetic energy  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second.  So we'll have to
make that conversion.

        KE  =  (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

               =  (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)²  (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

               =  (725.5) · ( 40/3 )²  ·  ( kg·m² / sec²)

               =    128,978  joules  (rounded)

Sam is recklessly driving 60 mph in a 30 mph speed zone when he suddenly sees the police. he steps on the brakes and slows to 30
barxatty [35]
For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

If the same pressure is exerted over a greater area will more of less force result? Group of answer choices :
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related by the equation:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area

We can re-arrange the equation as

F=pA

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.
