Yes, they would. The car with bigger mass would have lower velocity.

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Force applied to stop the car = 1,250 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car (M) = 1,000 kg

Initial velocity (U) = 20 m/s

Final velocity (V) = 0 m/s

Distance (S) = 160 m

Find:

Force applied to stop the car.

Computation:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\0^2=20^2+2(a)(160)\\\\0=400+320(a)\\\\Acceleration = a = -1.25m/s^2\\\\Force = ma \\\\Force= 1,000(1.25)\\\\Force = 1,250 N$

Force applied to stop the car = 1,250 N

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside

MArishka [77]

The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of <span>2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.</span>

the earth has more rotational kinetic energy now than did the cloud of gas and dust from which it formed. where did this energy

goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Earth or any planet are actually born from huge clouds of gas and dust. Their stellar mass are fairly distributed at a radius from the axis of rotation. Gravitational force cause the cloud to come together. Now the whole gathered in smaller area. Now, individual particles come close to the roational axis. Thus, decreasing the moment of inertia of the planet.

As

I=mr^2

reducing r reduces I. However, the angular moment of the system remains always conserved. So, to conserve the angular momentum the angular velocity of the planet increases and so did the otational kinetic energy

The minimum height h is 65m so that the car will not fall off the track at the top of the circular part of the loop.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Potential energy plus kinetic energy are combined to form mechanical energy. According to the principle of mechanical energy conservation, mechanical energy is constant in an isolated system when only conservative forces are acting on it. Potential energy increases when an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force. Kinetic energy also changes as an object's speed, not velocity, changes. However, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will always be present in real systems; however, if these forces are of minimal magnitude, mechanical energy changes little, making the idea of its conservation a reasonable approximation.

For completing the vertical circle the minimum speed at the bottom must be $\sqrt{5gR}$

so conserving mechanical energy

$mgh=\frac{1}{2} m (v_{bottom})^{2}$

$gh=\frac{1}{2} 5gR$

⇒ h= $\frac{5}{2} \times 26$

h = 65m
