Answer:

The same magnitude and sign

Explanation:

The equation for kinetic energy is K=mv^2/2

Lets assume car's 1 velocity is positive while car's 2 velocity is negative (for example, the first one goes to the right and the second to the left). On both cases when we do v^2 the result will be always positive, and since the mass is positive, the kinetic energy is positive. Also, if both cars are identical, they have the same mass, and it is said also that their speed are the same (in magnitude), so this means that their kinetic energies, given by the formula already written, have the same magnitude and sign.

The kinetic energies have <u>the same magnitudes and signs. (c)</u>

<u />

<u>Why?</u>

<u />

To answer the question, we need to remember the equation to calculate the kinetic energy of a body.

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

From the equation, we can see that no matter the direction of the movement, if we square the speed, we will get a positive value, so, it means that the kinetic energy will be always positive. Remember, the kinetic energy is not a vector but a scalar value.

Now, from the statement we know that both cars are identical (both have the same mass) and both are moving at the same speed, it means that the kinetic energies for t<u>he two cars will have the same magnitude and the same sign.</u>

How the energy affects the speed of the particles in a substance​
Daniel [21]

Increases

Explanation:

Energy increases the speed of the particles in a substance. When energy is added to a substance they gain more kinetic to move.

  • When energy is added to solid, the particles begins to vibrate about their fixed point.
  • They reach a point where they break lose and the ordered structure of a typical solid collapses.
  • They begin to move about freely and flow as in a liquid.
  • When  enough energy is added, they break their intermolecular attractions and becomes gaseous.
  • An increase in energy increases the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
  • The reverse is the case when energy is removed.

2 a A pile of 60 sheets of paper is 6 mm high. Calculate the average thickness of a sheet of the paper.
fiasKO [112]

The average thickness of a sheet of the paper is 0.1 mm.

The number of ice blocks that can be stored in the freezer is 80 blocks of ice.

<h3>Average thickness of a sheet of the paper</h3>

The average thickness of a sheet of the paper is calculated as follows;

average thickness = 6 mm/60 sheets = 0.1 mm /sheet

Thus, the average thickness of a sheet of the paper is 0.1 mm.

<h3>Volume of each block of ice</h3>

Volume = 10 cm x 10 cm x 4 cm

Volume = 400 cm³

<h3>Volume of the freezer</h3>

Volume = 40 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm = 32,000 cm³

<h3>Number of ice blocks that can be stored</h3>

n = 32,000 cm³/400 cm³

n = 80 blocks of ice

Thus, the number of ice blocks that can be stored in the freezer is 80 blocks of ice.
