When the speed of your car is doubled, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?

Physics

Answer:

a. 4

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the car.

v = speed of the car.

Let´s see how would be the equation if the velocity is doubled (2 · v)

KE2 = 1/2 · m · (2 · v)²

Distributing the exponent:

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 2² · v²

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 4 · v²

KE2 = 4 (1/2 · m · v²)      

KE2 = 4KE

Doubling the velocity increased the kinetic energy by 4.

Choose true or false for each statement regarding a parallel plate capacitor.. The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor i
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor increases when the plate area is decreased.

When plate area decreases , capacitance C decreases , but charge Q remains constant .

Q = C V where C is capacitance and V is voltage .

when C decreases , V increases for keeping Q constant .

So the statement is true.

The electric field is dependent on the charge density on the plates.

This statement is true .

The voltage of a connected charged capacitor remains the same when the plate area is decreased .

For a connected capacitor , V or voltage is constant which is equal to voltage of charging battery .

So the statement is true .

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

\theta = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units
