The distance covered by drag racer by going an average speed of 198.37 miles per hour in 4.537 seconds is 0.2500 miles.

<u>Solution: </u>

By using the relationship between distance speed and time, distance is the product of speed and time.

\begin{array}{l}{\text {Speed}=\frac{\text {Distance}}{\text {Time}}} \\\\ {\text {Distance}=\text {Speed} \times \text {Time}}\end{array}

Converting seconds to hours,

We know that 1 \text { second }=\frac{1}{3600} \text { hours }

So, 4.537 \text { seconds }=4.537 \times \frac{1}{3600} \text { hours }  

Average speed = 198.37 miles per hour and time = 4.537 \times \frac{1}{3600} h o u r s

\begin{array}{l}{\text {Distance}=198.37 \frac{\text { miles }}{\text { hours }} \times 4.537 \times \frac{1}{3600} \text { hours }} \\\\ {\text { Distance }=198.37 \times 4.537 \times \frac{1}{3600} \text { miles }=198.37 \times 0.00126} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 0.250001 \approx 0.2500}\end{array}

Distance = 0.2500 miles

At a particular instant, a moving body has a kinetic energy of 295 J and a momentum of magnitude 25.1 kg · m/s.(a)What is the sp
motikmotik

Answer:

a) 23.51 m/s

b) 1.07 kg

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Kinetic energy, K = 295 J

Momentum, p = 25.1 kgm/s

a) The kinetic energy of a body is given as:

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

where m = mass of the body and v = speed of the body

We know that momentum is given as:

p = mv

Therefore:

K = 1/2 * pv

=> v = 2K / p

v = (2 * 295) / 25.1 = 23.51 m/s

The velocity of the body at that instant is 23.51 m/s.

b) Momentum is given as:

p = mv

=> m = p / v

m = 25.1 / 23.51  = 1.07 kg

The mass of the body at that instant is 1.07 kg

'A' and 'C' both show that behavior.

'D' also shows it, but the object is moving backwards when time begins.
First it moves faster and faster backwards, then it moves slower and slower backwards.

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene
diamong [38]
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
E_i = K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
E_f = U_f
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
U_f = K_i
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
U_f = K_i = 10.09 J
