Which will increase the kinetic energy of an object more, increasing its mass or increasing its speed? Why?

agasfer [191]

Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)

2. A 1.30-m long gas column that is open at one end and closed at the other end has a fundamental resonant frequency 80.0 Hz. Wh

Elina [12.6K]

To solve this problem, it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the fundamental resonance frequency in a closed organ pipe.

This is mathematically given as

$f_n (2n+1)(\frac{v}{4L})$

For fundamental frequency n is 0, then,

$f_0 = \frac{v}{4L}$

When,

v = Velocity of sound

L = Length,

Rearranging to find the velocity,

$v = f_0 (4L)$

$v = (80Hz)(4)(1.3m)$

$v = 416m/s$

Therefore the speed of sound in this gas is 416m/s

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time ( $\Delta t$ )

$I=F \Delta t$

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$I=(ma) \Delta t$

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity ( $\Delta v$ ) and the contact time ( $\Delta t$ ): $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ , so the previous equation becomes
