Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.
KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²
= (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²
= (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)
= 128,978 joules (rounded)
Answer:
0.6 m
Explanation:
When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:
Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2
Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.
When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.
The potential energy of the ice cube is:
Ep = m * g * h
This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:
sin(a) = h/d
h = sin(a) * d
Replacing:
Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d
Equating both potential energies:
1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d
d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))
d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m
