The ratio of kinetic energy of ball A to ball B is 27

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The kinetic energy of any object is the energy exhibited by the object when it is in motion. The kinetic energy of any object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and square of the speed at which the object is moving. So the kinetic energy of any object can be represented as

                 E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times(\text { speed })^{2}

In this case, for ball B the mass is 1 kg and speed is 1 m/s. So the kinetic energy of ball B is

            \text { Kinetic energy for ball } B=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1^{2}=0.5 J

As it is said that the mass (M) and speed of ball A is three times the mass and speed of ball B.  So ,

         \text { M of ball } A=3 \times M \text { of ball } B=3 \times 1=3 \mathrm{kg}

And,

           \text { Speed of ball } A=3 \times \text { Speed of ball } B=3 \times 1=3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Thus, the kinetic energy of ball A will be

            \text {Kinetic energy for ball } A=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 9=13.5 \mathrm{J}

Now, to determine the ratio of kinetic energy of ball A to ball B,

\text { Ratio of kinetic energy }=\frac{\text {Kinetic energy of Ball } A}{\text {Kinetic energy of Ball } B}=\frac{13.5}{0.5} = 27

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}  \right )

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is \sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}} = 5.66 m/s

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.

Which law states that absolute zero cannot be reached?
padilas [110]
The third law of thermodynamics,the principle of temperature.

This law states that the entropy at 0 is always equel to 0.
This means that it is impossible to cool down a perfect 0 or absolute 0(-273.15 C)

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav
uysha [10]
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.
