A ball is rolling across the floor at a constant velocity. What is the value of the change in its kinetic energy, ΔEk?
Katyanochek1 [597]

B. When the ball is rolling across the floor at a constant velocity, the change in its kinetic energy is zero.

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

The change in kinetic energy of an object is the dereference between the final kinetic energy and the initial kinetic energy.

ΔK.E = K.Ef - K.Ei

ΔK.E = 0.5m(vf² - vi²)

where;

  • K.Ef is the final kinetic energy
  • K.Ei is the initial kinetic energy
  • vf is final velocity
  • vi is initial velocity

At constant velocity, the initial velocity and final velocity are equal.

ΔK.E = 0.5m(0) = 0

Thus, when the ball is rolling across the floor at a constant velocity, the change in its kinetic energy is zero.

A 40 kg skateboarder runs at a constant velocity of 12 m/s and jumps off a stationary skateboard with a mass of 8 kg. What is th
horsena [70]

Answer:

60 m/s (in the opposite direction)

Explanation:

By conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum of board + Initial momentum of man = Final momentum of board + Final momentum of man

=> 0 + 40*12 = 8*(-v) + 0

=> v = -60 [ Negative indicates opposite direction ]
