Answer:

Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.

Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.

If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i.e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

The distance recorded for riding a motorcycle on its rear wheel without stopping is more than 320 km! Suppose the rider in this

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s

The temperature of a room is 77°F what would be the temperature in Celsius scale

anygoal [31]

Formulas change from F to degree C : C = ( F - 32 )/1.8

so we have (77-32)/1.8 = 25 oC

ok done. Thank to me :>

Which of the following would be a good question that could be scientifically investigated? What is the best advice a parent can

Nesterboy [21]

<span>"Does lack of sunlight affect plant growth?"

This question can be investigated with procedures according to
the Scientific Method, because "lack of sunlight" can be arranged
unambiguously, and "affected plant growth" can be identified
unambiguously.

The other questions involve words or phrases with ambiguous definitions,
that can mean different things to different people, and would be hard to
agree on, like "</span><span>best advice", "sound quality", and "happiness in life".</span>

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-

Alisiya [41]

First we need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/s. Keeping in mind that
$1 rev= 2 \pi rad$
$1 min = 60 s$
the angular speed is
$\omega = 7.18 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{60} = 0.75 rad/s$

And so now we can calculate the tangential speed of the child, which is the angular speed times the distance of the child from the center of the motion:
$v= \omega r = (0.75 rad/s)(4.65 m)=3.50 m/s$
