Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

tangare [24]
Given:
u = 6.5 m/s, initial velocity 
a = 1.5 m/s², acceleration
s = 100.0 m, displacement

Let v =  the velocity attained after the 100 m displacement.
Use the formula
v² = u² + 2as
v² = (6.5 m/s)² + 2*(1.5 m/s²)*(100 m) = 342.25 (m/s)²
v = 18.5 m/s

Answer: 18.5 m/s

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Either heat added or mechanical work done.

Explanation:

Since he found stirring rod on the desk and a cigarette lighter. This means that the beaker was probably either heated with the aid of fire from the lighter.

Also, the stirring rod could have been used to stir the water which will increase the kinetic energy which also means an increase in temperature.

Thus, it's either heat was added or mechanical work was done as a result of stirring.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A. We have that radius r = 4.00m intensity I = 8.00 W/m^

total power = power/ Area ( 4πr2)= 8.00 w/m^2( 4π ( 4.00 m)2=1607.68 W

b) I = total power/ 4πr2= 8.00 W/m2 ( 4.00 m/ 9.5 m)2= 1.418 W/m2

c) E = total power x time= 1607 . 68 W x 1s= 1607.68 J
