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.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

When deformed, it returns to its original shape

Explanation:

  • A spring is elastic.  
  • Elasticity is the property of a material to regain its shape after having been deformed.
  • It means that when the force is doubled, the amount of deformation in it gets doubled.
  • Hence, the correct option is (b) " When deformed, it returns to its original shape".

Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree
taurus [48]
Taking the distance of Tarzan from the ground before and after he makes the swing:

Ho (initial height) = L(1 - cos45) = 20 (1 - 0.707) = 5.86 meters
Hf (final height) = L(1 - cos30) = 20 (1 - 0.866<span>) = 2.68 meters
</span>
Difference in height = 5.86 - 2.68 = 3.18 meters

PE = KE
mgh = (1/2)mv^2

Solving for v:
v = sqrt (2*g*h)
v = sqrt (2*9.8*3.18)
v = 7.89 m/s

With Tarzan going that fast, it is likely that he will knock Jane off.
