Help on finding kinetic energy??

2 answers:

8 0

Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

KE=m•v^2/2
M=mass
V=velocity

A railroad car of mass 2.50 3 104 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railro

ipn [44]

Answer:2.5 m/s

37.5KJ

Explanation:

Let $u_1, u_2 , v_f$ be the initial velocity of rail road car ,coupled cars & Final velocity of system respectively.

$m=2.50\times 10^{4}$

Conserving momentum

$mu_1+3mu_2=4mv_f$

$4m+6m=4mv_f$

$v_f=2.5 m/s$

Therefore Final velocity of system is 2.5m/s

(b)Mechanical Energy lost =Initial Kinetic Energy -Final Kinetic Energy

$Initial Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}m\left ( 4^2\right )+\frac{1}{2}m\left ( 2^2\right )=14m J$

$Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}4m\left ( 2.5^2\right )=12.5m J$

$Mechanical Energy lost=14m-12.5m=3.75\times 10^4=37.5 KJ$

To get off a frozen lake, a 70 kg person removes his shoe of mass 0.175 kg and throws it horizontally away from the shore at a v

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the person will be in the shore at 10.73 minutes after launch the shoe.

Explanation:

For this we will use the law of the lineal momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

Also,

L = MV

where M is de mass and V the velocity.

replacing,

$M_i V_i = M_{fp}V_{fp} + M_{fz}V_{fz}$

wher Mi y Vi are the initial mass and velocity, Mfp y Vfp are the final mass and velocity of the person and Mfz y Vfz are the final mass and velocity of the shoe.

so, we will take the direction where be launched the shoe as negative. then:

(70)(0) = (70-0.175)( $V_fp$ ) + (0.175)(-3.2m/s)

solving for $V_fp$ ,

$V_fp$ = $\frac{(3.2)(0.175)}{69.825}$

$V_fp$ = 0.008m/s

for know when the person will be in the shore we will use the rule of three as:

1 second -------------- 0.008m

t seconds-------------- 5.15m

solving for t,

t = 5.15m/0.008m

t = 643.75 seconds = 10.73 minutes

Sound cannot travel through___________.

lana [24]

d.) a and b only

This is because sound needs a medium to travel. It can travel in a solid (the fastest) and air for example. Sound waves cannot propagate through a vacuum and since space is a vacuum the answer is a and b only.
