Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?

Physics
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

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

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

Explain in terms of energy flow how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle
sergij07 [2.7K]
The <span>flow of how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle is based on the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy will flow from a higher to a lower temperature. So your body heat will flow to the cold pack in which you will feel the coldness of the pack.</span>

Which type of nuclear reaction involves combining light elements into a heavier element, with a resultant release of great amoun
torisob [31]

Answer: Fusion

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_0^\textrm{n}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{36}^{91}\textrm{Kr}+_{56}^{142}\textrm{Ba}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}

A particle's position is given by z(t) = −(6.50 m/s2)t2k for t ≥ 0. (Express your answer in vector form.) a. Find the particle's
blondinia [14]

Answer:

a) z'(t) =v(t) = -13t

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}

For t = 3.0 s we have:

v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}

b) v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m

z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m

And now we can replace and we got:

V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The particle position is given by:

z(t) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) t^2, t\geq 0

Part a

In order to find the velocity we need to take the first derivate for the position function like this:

z'(t) =v(t) = -13t

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}

For t = 3.0 s we have:

v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}

Part b

For this case we can find the average velocity with the following formula:

v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m

z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m

And now we can replace and we got:

V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}
