Answer:

3000 Joules

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this.

the kinetic energy  of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.it is given by:

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Step 1

all you have to do is to put the values into the equation

Let

m= 15 kg

speed=20 m/s

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}(15kg)(20\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}(15kg)(400)\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } \\E_{k}=3000 kg \frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }

by definition

1Kg\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }=1 Joule

so, the kinetic energy of the block is 3000 Joules

I hope it helps, Have a great day.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:        Ke = 3000 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 15 kg

speed = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Equation

               Ke = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

               Ke = \frac{1}{2}(15)(20)^{2}

                Ke = 3000 Joules

Suppose a current flows through a copper wire. Which two things occur?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

as the copper wire is very dangerous so now if these two thing happens then it would easily help the current flows through it so it might be a little bit easy for the current to flow through it

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. suppose one such plate has an average speed of 4.8 cm
user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium <br>​
dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.
