How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

60 mph?

Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

Why are not all<br>materials conductive<br>to electricity​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

In conductive materials, the outer electrons in each atom can easily come or go, and are called free electrons. In insulating materials, the outer electrons are not so free to move. All metals are electrically conductive.

The answer and how to do it?? Thanks
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

14 m/s²

Explanation:

Start with Newton's 2nd law: Fnet=ma, with F being force, m being mass, and a being acceleration. The applied forces on the left and right side of the block are equivalent, so they cancel out and are negligible. That way, you only have to worry about the y direction. Don't forget the force that gravity has the object. It appears to me that the object is falling, so there would be an additional force from going down from weight of the object. Weight is gravity (can be rounded to 10) x mass. Substitute 4N+weight in for Fnet and 1kg in for m.

(4N + 10 x 1kg)=(1kg)a

14/1=14, so the acceleration is 14 m/s²
