Karolina [17]3 years ago
4 0

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

You are trying to take an image of a particular star with apparent magnitude m=10, and need to figure out how long you will need
Natalka [10]

You haven't told us anything about the detectors being used.  We don't know how the sensitivity of the detector is related to the total number of photons absorbed, and we don't even know whether you and your friend are both using the same type of detector.

All we can do, in desperation, is ASSUME that the minimum time required to just detect a star is inversely proportional to the total number of its photons that strike the detector.  That is, assume . . .

(double the number of photons) ===> (detect the source in half the time) .

-- The intensity of light delivered to the prime focus of a telescope is directly proportional to the AREA of its objective lens or mirror, which in turn is proportional to the square of its radius or diameter.

So your telescope gathers (0.18/0.05)² = 12.96 times as much light as your friends telescope does.

-- So we'd expect your instrument to detect the same star in

(119.5 min) / (12.96) = <em>9.22 minutes  .</em>

We're simply comparing the performance of two different telescopes as they observe the same object, so the star's magnitude doesn't matter.

Which of the following best describes the difference between speed and acceleration?
Nataly_w [17]

The correct answer to the question is : C) Speed is the distance an object travels within a specific unit of time, whereas acceleration is the rate at which the speed or direction of an object is changing.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand speed and acceleration.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance or the distance covered by the body per unit time. Speed is scalar quantity. Hence, it needs only magnitude for its complete specification.

The acceleration produced by a body is defined as the rate of change of velocity. We know that velocity is the speed in a particular direction. Hence, the acceleration is not only produced due to the change in magnitude of velocity as well as due to the change in direction. Hence, acceleration is a vector quantity which needs magnitude as well as direction for its complete specification.

Hence, the best difference between speed and acceleration is the third statement.
