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

60 mph?
Physics

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.

Which two statements are true about a system?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:The correct options are:

1. A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.

2. Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

Explanation:

A system is defined as group of interrelated or interacting items existing as a single unit or a whole to achieve a specific objective.Energy lost by the system is equal to the energy gained by the surroundings.

Two statements are true about a system:

  • A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.
  • Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

At higher speeds, how would you compensate for the decrease in field of vision
inysia [295]
When you ride a vehicle in a fast speed, then your peripheral vision will reduce that is why there is a need for you to follow the direction of the objects when you are travelling in order for you to compensate to the decrease in the field of vision.

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

Explanation:do you want me to explain it more??
