Answer:

A. 40 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

Given m = 20 kg and v = 2 m/s:

KE = ½ (20 kg) (2 m/s)²

KE = 40 J

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}$

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,

$K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2}$ = 40 J

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .

pogonyaev

I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s
