What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J

1 answer:

7 0

We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v.

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

the correct one is D,

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

c = λ f

we substitute

E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray E = 10 eV

gamma rays E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Twopieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to

loris [4]

Answer:

V = 13m/s

North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North)

Explanation:

This question deals with the idea of momentum.

Since the directions of a compass are fixed, we can take south as horizontal and west as vertical. Since both pieces of coconut are of equal mass, then the resultant of the two pieces would be in between South and West and the third piece would be opposite this direction and be in the North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North) direction

To find the speed of the third piece, we first find the speed on the two pieces of the coconut in terms of $V_{x}$ (horizontal component of velocity) and $V_{y}$ (vertical component of velocity)

We have

$V_{y}$ = Velocity in South direction = 18m/s

$m_{y}$ = Mass of piece in South direction = m

$V_{x}$ = Velocity in West direction = 18m/s

$m_{x}$ = Mass of piece in West direction = m

$V_{ry}$ = Velocity of Third Piece in North direction = unknown

$V_{rx}$ = Velocity of Third Piece in East direction = unknown

$m$ = Mass of third piece = 2m

$mV_{ry} = m_{y} V_{y} \\ 2mV_{ry} = m18\\ V_{ry} = 9$

$mV_{rx} = m_{x} V_{x} \\ 2mV_{rx} = m18\\ V_{rx} = 9$

Since we now know the horizontal and vertical component of the velocity of the third piece of coconut we find the resultant velocity. Since we know the direction is North-East, we can imagine a right angled triangle with base of 9 and height 9 and the hypotenuse equal to the resultant velocity .

We can simply apply the Pythagoras theorem and find the hypotenuse

$Hypotenuse^{2} = Height^{2} + Base^{2} \\ V_{3}^2 = 9^{2} + 9^{2} \\ V = 12.728 m/s$

V = 13m/s

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.
