How to use kinetic energy to calculate velocity

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
7 0

As we know the formula of kinetic energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

here given that

KE = 150,000 J

mass = 120 kg

we can use this to find speed

150,000 = \frac{1}{2} * 120 * v^2

v^2 = 2500

v = 50 m/s

So speed of above object is 50 m/s

Explain the relationship between velocity and acceleration. Are these scalar or vector quantities?
stiv31 [10]
A scalar is something that only has speed without a DIRECTION while a vector has direction. acceleration is a vector and mass is a scalar.

The velocity of a ball changes from ‹ 9, −6, 0 › m/s to ‹ 8.96, −6.12, 0 › m/s in 0.02 s, due to the gravitational attraction of
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a) a=(-2,-6,0)m/s^2, with a magnitude of 6.3m/s^2

b) \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=(-0.24,-0.72,0)Kgm/s^2, with a magnitude of 0.76Kgm/s^2

c) F=(-0.24,-0.72,0)N, with a magnitude of 0.76N

Explanation:

We have:

v_{ix}=9m/s, v_{iy}=-6m/s, v_{iz}=0m/s\\v_{fx}=8.96m/s, v_{fy}=-6.12m/s, v_{fz}=0m/s\\t=0.02s, m=0.12Kg

We can calculate each component of the acceleration using its definition a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a_x=\frac{v_{fx}-v_{ix}}{t} = \frac{(8.96m/s)-(9m/s)}{0.02s} =-2m/s^2\\a_y=\frac{v_{fy}-v_{iy}}{t} = \frac{(-6.12m/s)-(-6m/s)}{0.02s} =-6m/s^2\\a_y=\frac{v_{fz}-v_{iz}}{t} = \frac{(0m/s)-(0m/s)}{0.02s} =0m/s^2\\

The rate of change of momentum of the ball is \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta mv}{\Delta t} = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t} = ma

So for each coordinate:

\frac{\Delta p_x}{\Delta t}=-0.24Kgm/s^2\\\frac{\Delta p_y}{\Delta t}=-0.72Kgm/s^2\\\frac{\Delta p_z}{\Delta t}=0Kgm/s^2

And these are equal to the components of the net force since F=ma.

If magnitudes is what is asked:

a=\sqrt{a_x+a_y+a_z} =6.3m/s^2\\F=ma=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=0.76N

<em>(N and </em>Kgm/s^2<em> are the same unit).</em>

A particular car has a weight of 9500 N. What is the mass of the car? 9500 kg 95000 kg 950 kg 2160 kg
Ivenika [448]

950kg. It is W=mg. therefore, mass= W/g which is W/10

=9500/10

=950

Why will the circuit stop working if the wites were made out of plastic instead of copper?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

plastic isn't conductive

Explanation:

Correct me if I'm wrong but plastic isn't conductive copper is so if it's not conductive it will probably mess up the circuit or somthing
