Kinetic energy is half the product of the mass and the square velocity and at highest point the velocity is 0 thus the kinetic energy is 0 J

For a projectile  the total energy is equal to the kinetic energy that is  1/2 mv and the  the potential energy mgh that add. Initially the total energy is all kinetic energy at the highest point the energy is all potential.so kinetic energy  at that point is 0.
hope it helps

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.40
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

53.895 m.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.

make s the subject of the equation,

s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2

Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)  a = 0.380 m/s².

Substitute into equation 2

s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)

s = 40.96/0.76

s = 53.895 m.

Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u²  , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J  

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J  

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² =  15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s

PLEASE HELP!!! WILL GIVE 30 POINTS!! HAS TO BE CORRECT!
belka [17]

Answer:

Disruption to electricity power grid

Explanation:

We're looking a a solar flare. This will whip solar particles at high velocity into space and, If they are near earth, will interact with the earth's magnetic field. These magnetic changes will be measurable in the electric grid. Whether they are strong enough to cause "disruption" depends on a huge number of factors such as strength of and angles of the interacting magnetic fields and location of grid infrastructure,
