An object that has kinetic energy must be <em>moving</em>.

The formula for an object's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) · (the object's mass) · <u><em>(the object's speed)²</em></u>

As you can see from the formula, if the object has no speed, then its kinetic energy is zero.  That's why kinetic energy is usually called the "energy of motion", and if an object HAS kinetic energy, then that tells you right away that it must be moving.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the north, then turns around and walks 6 meters toward the south.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Total distance traveled = 9 m

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travel towards north = 3 meter

Distance travel towards south = 6 meter

Find:

Total distance traveled

Computation:

Total distance traveled = Sum of total distance

Total distance traveled = Distance travel towards north + Distance travel towards south

Total distance traveled = 3 m + 6 m

Total distance traveled = 9 m

A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef
frez [133]
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s

Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s

The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
   = 21.675 m

Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.
