Kinetic energy is energy in motion,while potential energy is energy at rest. 

Car A is parked, so it consists of potential energy. 
Car B is driving, so its in motion, (kinetic energy). 

Answer: <span>B) Car A has potential energy and Car B has kinetic energy.</span>

The answer is b because kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its position.

How is the position vs. time graph with the cart moving towards the sensor with decreasing speed different than the position vs.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

if Y is the position and X the time: in the first one you will see a crescent function that starts sharp and starts to curve down as the time pases. as the cart is slowing down, you will need more time to move the same as before.

Y (position)

I

I   o

I------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X (time)

in the second case the cart starts close to the sensor and starts getting sharper and sharper as the time pases. This is because the velocity is increasing, so for each second that pases, you will travel more distance that the second before it.

i hope you can understand it, kinda hard to do graphs here.

A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

(c) Us ethe conservation of energy

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V

A skateboarder is moving at 1.75 m/s when she starts going up an incline that causes an acceleration of -0.20 m/s2
Rudiy27

Answer:

Approximately 7.66\; \rm m.

Explanation:

<h3>Solve this question with a speed-time plot</h3>

The skateboarder started with an initial speed of u = 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} and came to a stop when her speed became v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. How much time would that take if her acceleration is a = -0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}?

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &= \frac{0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 8.75\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

Refer to the speed-time graph in the diagram attached. This diagram shows the velocity-time plot of this skateboarder between the time she reached the incline and the time when she came to a stop. This plot, along with the vertical speed axis and the horizontal time axis, form a triangle. The area of this triangle should be equal to the distance that the skateboarder travelled while she was moving up this incline until she came to a stop. For this particular question, that area is approximately equal to:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \times 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \times 8.75\; \rm s \approx 7.66\; \rm m.

In other words, the skateboarder travelled 15.3\; \rm m up the slope until she came to a stop.

<h3>Solve this question with an SUVAT equation</h3>

A more general equation for this kind of motion is:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v) \, t = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v)\cdot \frac{v - u}{a}= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a},

where:

  • u and v are the initial and final velocity of the object,
  • a is the constant acceleration that changed the velocity of this object from u to v, and
  • x is the distance that this object travelled while its velocity changed from u to v.

For the skateboarder in this question:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a}\\ &= \frac{\left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 - \left(1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2}{2\times \left(-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)}\approx 7.66\; \rm m \end{aligned}.
