Hello,

The answer is option B KE=1/2mv^2.

Reason:

In order to calculate the kinetic energy of a object you need to use option B which is the correct formula to find the kinetic energy.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

A 4.00 kg block is suspended from a spring with k 500 N/m. A 50.0 g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a sp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. A = 0.1656 m

b. % E = 1.219

Explanation:

Given

mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150  m/s , k = 500 N / m

a.

To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy

ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0

¹/₂ * m * v²  -  ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0

A = √ mB * vₓ² / k

vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB

vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518

A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)²   /   (500 N / m)

A = 0.1656 m

b.

The percentage of kinetic energy

%E = Es / Ek

Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5

Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N

% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100

% E = 1.219

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

The ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.23 eV. How much energy must be added to the electron to move it to the t
Vikki [24]

Answer:

  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV
  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV

Explanation:

Given;

Energy of electron in ground state (n = 1 ) = 1.23 eV

E₁ = 1.23 eV

Eₙ = E₁ /n²

where;

E₁ is the energy of the electron in ground state

n is the energy level,

For third excited state, n = 4

E₄ = E₁ /4²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 16

E₄ = 0.077 eV

Change in energy level, = E₄ - E₁ = 0.077 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.153 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV

For fourth excited state, n = 5

E₅ = E₁ /5²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 25

E₄ = 0.049 eV

Change in energy level, = E₅ - E₁ = 0.049 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.181 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV

Two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 9.8 m above the ground a
xenn [34]

Answer:

Time = 0.55 s

Height = 8.3 m

Explanation:

The ball is dropped and therefore has an initial velocity of 0. Its acceleration, g, is directed downward in the same direction as its displacement, h_b.

The dart is thrown up in which case acceleration, g, acts downward in an opposite direction to its displacement, h_d. Both collide after travelling for a time period, t. Let the height of the dart from the ground at collision be h_d and the distance travelled by the ball measured from the top be h_b.

It follows that h_d+h_b=9.8.

Applying the equation of motion to each body (h = v_0t + 0.5at^2),

Ball:

h_b=0\times t + 0.5\times 9.8t^2 (since v_{b0} =0.)

h_b=4.9t^2

Dart:

h_d=17.8\times t - 0.5\times9.8t^2 (the acceleration is opposite to the displacement, hence the negative sign)

h_d=17.8\times t - 4.9t^2

But

h_b+h_d =9.8

17.8\times t - 4.9t^2+4.9t^2 =9.8

17.8\times t = 9.8

t = 0.55

The height of the collision is the height of the dart above the ground, h_d.

h_d=17.8\times t - 4.9t^2

h_d=17.8\times 0.55 - 4.9\times(0.55)^2

h_d=9.79 - 1.48225

h_d=8.3
