Answer:
194,400 joules of kinetic energy.
Explanation:
Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:
We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:
So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.
This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).
So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .
-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)
-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.
(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)
-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules
(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)
The speed increases, because as the angle increases (the wing slants up more steeply), the air has to go farther to get over the wing.
Answer:
physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 11.186 km/s (6.951 mi/s; 40,270 km/h; 25,020 mph)[1] at the surface. ... [2] Speeds higher than escape velocity have a positive speed at infinity.
