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.

1. A car accelerates uniformly from 12 m/s to 39 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the car's average acceleration
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(1) 2.25m/s^2

(2) 45.6m

Explanation:

(1) A car accelerates uniformly from 12m/s to 39m/s in 12 seconds

Therefore the average acceleration can be calculated as follows

a = 39-12/12

a = 27/12

a= 2.25m/s^2

(2) A butterfly is flying at 4m/s , it accelerates uniformly at 1.2 m/s for 6 seconds

u= 4

a= 1.2

t= 6

Therefore the distance can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 4×6 + 1/2 × 1.2 × 6^2

= 24 + 1/2 × 1.2 × 36

= 24 + 1/2 × 43.2

= 24 + 21.6

S = 45.6m

Hence the butterfly travels at 45.6m
