B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

  • The  kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
  • The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

26.8 seconds

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use 2 kinematics equations: *I can't use subscripts for some reason on here so I am going to use these variables:

v = final velocity

z = initial velocity

x = distance

t = time

a = acceleration

{v}^{2}  =  {z}^{2}  + 2ax

v = z + at

First let's find the final velocity the plane will have at the end of the runway using the first equation:

{v}^{2}  =  {0}^{2}  + 2(5)(1800)

v = 60 \sqrt{5}

Now we can plug this into the second equation to find t:

60 \sqrt{5}  = 0 + 5t

t = 12 \sqrt{5}

Then using 3 significant figures we round to 26.8 seconds
