Answer: 40 Joules

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and speed of the object.

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times mv^2

m= mass of canoe = 20 kg

v= speed of canoe = 2 m/s

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 20kg\times (2m/s)^2

K.E=40kgm^2s^-{2}=40Joules

(1kgm^2s^{-2}= 1Joule)

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The net friction force is 8.01 N

Explanation:

Net friction force = mass of hockey puck × acceleration

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v = 40 m/s

u = 0 m/s (puck was initially at rest)

s = 30 m

40^2 = 0^2 + 2×a×30

60a = 1600

a = 1600/60 = 26.7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the puck is 26.7 m/s^2

Net friction force = 0.3 × 26.7 = 8.01 N

finlep [7]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Voltage = I (current) . Resistance

You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.

In this case...

R = V/I

R = 12/3

R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)

A professional baseball player can throw the ball around 45 m/s if the distance between the pitcher and the batter is 18.39 m. H
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the baseball, u = 45 m/s

horizontal distance between the pitcher and the batter, X = 18.39 m

The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;

X = ut

where;

t is the time of flight

u is the initial velocity

t = X / u

t = 18.39 / 45

t = 0.41 s

Therefore, the time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

What is the acceleration during the pushing-off phase, in m/27 Express your answer in meters per second squared. A bush baby, an
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a = 12.78 g's

Explanation:

Height reached by the object after push off is given as

H = 2.3 m

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

now we have

0 - v^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.3)

v = 6.72 m/s

now we know that this push last for total distance of 0.18 m

so during the push we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

6.72^2 - 0 = 2a(0.18)

a = 125.35 m/s^2

now in terms of g = 9.81 m/s/s we have

a = \frac{125.35}{9.81} gs

a = 12.78 g's
