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.

What do you guys know about emotional intelligence? And how is it used in the real world?
tester [92]
Emotional Intelligence is our own abilities of being able to identify and regulate our own emotions. This is used by individuals in the real world in order to regulate crying in front of everyone for example. Calming ourselves down by breathing is another good example of regulating emotion which plays into emotional intelligence.

Hope this helps mate :D

Answer:

1.5min

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Period and Centripetal Acceleration.

By definition centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

Where,

V = Tangencial velocity

r = radius

With our values we know that

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

\frac{V^2}{r} = \frac{1}{10}g

Therefore solving to find V, we have:

V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}g*r}

V = \sqrt{\frac{9.81*200}{10}}

V = 14m/s

For definition we know that the Time to complete are revolution is given by

t = \frac{Perimeter}{Speed}

t = \frac{2\pi R}{V}

t = \frac{2\pi * 200}{14}

t = 1.5min

Marina CMI [18]
The problem ask to calculate the bullet's flight time and the bullet's speed as it left the barrel. So base on the problem, the answer would be that the flight time is 0.076 seconds and the speed of the bullet is 657.9 m/s. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications.
