Two identical masses are moving down a slope one masses traveling twice as fast as the other mass how does the kinetic energy of
1 answer:
Answer:
One mass's kinetic energy is 4 times the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is
Where
KE is the kinetic energy
m is the mass
v is the velocity
- Now, let mass of the first be m (second is identical so mass of 2nd is m as well)
- Let velocity of the first one be v. Since 2nd one is travelling twice as fast, its velocity will be 2v
<u>KE of 1st mass is:</u>
<u />
<u>KE of 2nd mass is:</u>
Hence, the kinetic energy of the 2nd mass is 4 times the first.

In every case, you're finding the surface area of a rectangular prism. That area is the sum of the areas of the 6 rectangular faces. Since opposite faces have the same area, the formula can be written
... S = 2(LW +WH +HL)
The number of multiplications can be reduced if you rearrange the formula to
... S = 2(LW +H(L +W))
where L, W, and H are the length, width, and height of the prism. (It does not matter which dimension gets what name, as long as you use the same number for the same variable in the formula.)
When you're evaluating this formula over and over for diffferent sets of numbers, it is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet program do it for you.
1. S = 2((5 cm)(5 cm) +(5 cm)(5 cm +5 cm)) = 2(25 cm² +(5 cm)(10 cm))
... = 2(25 cm² + 50 cm²) = 150 cm²
2. S = 2(12·6 + 2(12+6)) mm² = 2(72 +36) mm² = 216 mm²
3. S = 2(11·6 + 4(11 +6)) ft² = 2·134 ft² = 264 ft²
4. S = 2(10·4 +3(10 +4)) in² = 164 in²
