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.

Why is everything spinning? Moons, planets and stars all rotate on their axes, moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, spiral
kow [346]

Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the sk
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  = \frac{force x height }{time}  

   Power  = \frac{25 x 3.6}{12}    = 7.5Watts

In traveling a distance of 2.5 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 99 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 48 km/h from
Andreyy89

Answer:

d = 1.954 Km

Explanation:

given,

total distance, D = 2.5 Km

in stretch A to B =

speed = 99 Km/h = 99 x 0.278 = 27.22 m/s     time =t

in stretch B to C

time = 3.4 s

In stretch C to D

speed = 48 Km/h = 48 x 0.278 = 13.34 m/s     time =t      

we know,

distance = speed x time

distance of BC

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

27.22 = 13.34 - a x 3.4

a = 4.08 m/s²

uniform deceleration is equal to 4.08 m/s²

distance traveled in BC

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 13.34\times 3.4 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.08 \times 3.4^2

s = 68.94 m

3000 = 99 \times \dfrac{1000\ t}{3600}+ 68.94 + 48\times \dfrac{1000\ t}{3600}

3000 = 27.5 t + 68.94 + 13.33 t

40.83 t = 2931.06

t = 71.79 s

distance travel in AB

distance = s x t

d = 27.22 x 71.79

d = 1954 m

d = 1.954 Km

distance between A and B is equal to 1.954 Km.

marishachu [46]
The waste products of a nuclear fission power plant can best be described as radioactive waste. 
These are the by-products from the processes carried out that produce nuclear energy. This type of waste is highly dangerous. A lot of attention has to be paid to the collection and disposal of this waste as it must not reach any near by water bodies for example. It can be deadly for life.
