Explanation:

The kinetic energy is basically the energy possesses by virtue of a body's motion

1. The truck moving to the quarry

let the mass be x

and the velocity is given as 20m/s

we know that the kinetic energy is given as

KE=1/2mv^2

KE=1/2(x)*20^2

KE=1/2(x)400

KE=200x

2. The truck leaving to the quarry

let the mass be 2x

and the velocity is given as 20m/s

we know that the kinetic energy is given as

KE=1/2mv^2

KE=1/2(2x)*20^2

KE=1/2(2x)400

KE=400x

From the analysis the kinetic energy is a function of mass, doubling the mass doubles the kinetic energy

Answer:

$v=1667.9km/h$

$a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2$

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth $C=2\pi R$ , where $R=6371km$ is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

$v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h$

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

$a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2$

A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on

antoniya [11.8K]

Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

Pls. see attachment.
