Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. <em>If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.</em>

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. <em>Now</em><em> </em><em>please</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>picture</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>shows</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relation</em><em> </em><em>between </em><em>the </em><em>J </em><em>and </em><em>other</em><em> SI units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Please</em><em> </em><em>understand</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>construct</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>'own'</em><em> </em><em>formulas</em><em> </em><em>based</em><em> </em><em>these</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Now</em><em> </em><em>here</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>saver</em><em>:</em>

Because almost always the right units are <em>given</em> in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

<em>By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.</em>

A convex lens of focal length 35 cm produces a magnified image 2.5 times the size of the object. What is the object distance if
Zanzabum

Answer:

Image distance is -52.5 cm

Image is virtual and forms on the same side of the lens and upright image is formed.

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 35

m = Magnification = 2.5

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 2.5=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-2.5 u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{35}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-2.5u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{35}=\frac{3}{5u}\\\Rightarrow u=21\ cm

v=-2.5\times 21=-52.5\ cm

Image distance is -52.5 cm

Image is virtual and forms on the same side of the lens and upright image is formed.

The stopwatch will be the most useful in determining the kinetic energy of a 50 g battery- powered car traveling a distance of 10 m.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of a body possessed due to motion.

This means that for an object to possess kinetic energy, it must be in motion.

The kinetic energy is measured in Joules, which is a product of the mass of the substance and the time taken to travel a distance.

A stopwatch is an instrument used to measure time as one of the components of kinetic energy.

Therefore, the stopwatch will be the most useful in determining the kinetic energy of a 50 g battery- powered car traveling a distance of 10 m.

If the mass of a 1.8 g paperclip was able to be completely converted to energy, how much energy would you obtain?
Anton [14]

Answer:

E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

E=mc^2

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

So, the energy obtained is 1.62\times 10^{14}\ J.

Part K Find the y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8.00 m below your hand
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8 m below the hand is 14.86 m / s

v² = u² + 2 a s

s = Displacement

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

u = 8 m / s

s = 8 m

v² = 8² + 2 * 9.8 * 8

v² = 64 + 156.8

v = √ 220.8

v = 14.86 m / s

The equation used to solve the problem is an equation of motion. These equations are designed to locate an object in motion using components such as velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.

Therefore, the y-component of the stone's velocity is 14.86 m / s
