The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

o within 0.1kmh. What is the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy, as a result of the imprecision in the measurement of her velocity?

Answer:

e=3367.2J

%e=1.43%

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J

E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J

%e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43%

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.
