Two identical masses are moving down a slope one masses traveling twice as fast as the other mass how does the kinetic energy of

one mass compared to the other
Mathematics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

One mass's kinetic energy is 4 times the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

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>

\frac{1}{2}mv^2

<u />

<u>KE of 2nd mass is:</u>

\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\=\frac{1}{2}m(4v^2)\\=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 * 4

Hence, the kinetic energy of the 2nd mass is 4 times the first.

1. Dolores is on a bridge that is 42 feet above a lake. What is the distance from Dolores to the boat? G​
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

You are missing data such as the angle of the boat next to Dolores. I found an exercise similar to this, and I'm going to show it here and use the missing data to show you how to do it:

<u>Dolores is on a bridge that is 45 feet above a lake. She sees a boat at a 30 degree angle of depression. What is Dolores' approximate horizontal distance from the boat?</u>

<u></u>

According to that, I will use the angle of 30° to do this, but the distance of 42 feet.

Now, we can see this as a triangle. Dolores is on a bridge 42 feet above a lake, this 42 feet distance should be one side of the triangle (The vertical forming the 90° angle), and the boat that is on the lake, is seen with an angle of 30°. So the distance of the boat, to the spot where dolores is, under the bridge would be the horizontal side.

With this, we have the opposite side (a) and the adyacent side (b) of the triangle, and we have the angle, therefore:

tanα = a/b

Replacing we have:

tan30° = 42/b

b = 42 / tan30°

b = 72.75 feet

Hope this helps

Line CD bisects AB at point C. Find AC if AB = 56 feet
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

  AC = 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C is the midpoint of AB, so AC is half the length of AB:

  AB/2 = (56 ft)/2 = 28 ft = AC

What is the solution to the following equation?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

D. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE : <u><em>there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.</em></u>

suppose the equation is the following:

3(x-4)-5 = x-3

………………………………………………………

3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17

⇔ 3x = x + 14

⇔ 2x = 14

⇔ x = 14/2

⇔ x = 7

Ali finished his history assignment in 1/4
Lina20 [59]
Hello there!

For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!

The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.

So:

1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12

2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12

Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).

When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).

So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours

Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)

Hope this helped!
