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

A 5.93 kg ball is attached to the top of a vertical pole with a 2.35 m length of massless string. The ball is struck, causing it

Delvig [45]

Answer

given,

mass of ball = 5.93 kg

length of the string = 2.35 m

revolve with velocity of 4.75 m/s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

T cos θ = mg

T cos θ = $5.93\times 9.81$

T cos θ = 58.17

$T sin \theta =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$T sin \theta =\dfrac{5.93\times 4.75^2}{2.35 sin \theta}$

$T sin^2 \theta =56.93$

$sin^2 \theta = 1 - cos^2 \theta$

$T (1 - cos^2 \theta) =56.93$

$T (1 - (\dfrac{58.17}{T})^2) =56.93$

T² - 56.93T - 3383.75 = 0

T = 93.22 N

$cos \theta = \dfrac{58.17}{93.22}$

θ = 51.39°

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state

posledela

Answer:

a) y₂ = 49.1 m , t = 1.02 s , b) y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

$v_{y}$ ² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

y-yo = $v_{oy}² /2 g
 y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
 y - 0 = 5.10 m
 
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
 y₂ = 5.1 + 44
 y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
 [tex]v_{y}$ = $v_{oy}$ - g t

t = $v_{oy}$ / g

t = 10 / 9.8

t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

y- 44.0 = $v_{y}$ ² / 2 g

y - 44.0 = 5.1

y = 5.1 +44.0

y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

t = 1.02 s
