a. Second ball of mass 3m has the larger kinetic energy than the first ball of mass m

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the Kinetic Energy formula:

\boxed {E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 }

<em>Ek = kinetic energy ( J )</em>

<em>m = mass of object ( kg )</em>

<em>v = speed of object ( m/s )</em>

\texttt{ }

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of first ball = m

mass of second ball = 3m

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of kinetic energy of the balls = Ek₁ : Ek₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 : \frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 (2gh) : \frac{1}{2}m_2 (2gh)

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m_1gh : m_2gh

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m_1 : m_2

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = m : 3m

Ek_1 : Ek_2 = 1 : 3

Ek_2 = 3Ek_1

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

Second ball of mass 3m has the larger kinetic energy than the first ball of mass m

The potential energy that the ball has at the top of the tower is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The second ball has more potential energy at the top, because you did more work on it to carry it up there. So it has more KE at the bottom. (A)

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

706.68 N

Explanation:

By Hooke's law,

F = ke

k=\dfrac{F}{e}

Using the values in the question,

k=\dfrac{265\text{ N}}{0.15 \text{ m}}=1766.7\text{ N/m}

When e = 0.4 m,

F = 1766.7\text{ N/m}\times0.4\text{ m}=706.68\text{ N}

A 600 kg car is at test and then accelerated to 5m/s , what is its original kinetic energy
ycow [4]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as:

KE = 1/2 m v²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

The car starts at rest, so it has zero velocity.  Therefore, its initial kinetic energy is 0 J.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}

Explanation:

When the springs are connected end to end, it means they are connected in series. When the springs are connected in series, the stress applied to the system gets applied to each of the springs without any change in magnitude while the strain of the system is the sum total of strains of each spring. The spring constant of the resultant system is given as,

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{n}})

Here, n = 10

Spring constant of each spring = k

Thus,

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{10}})

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})

\frac{1}{K_{system}} = \frac{10}{k}

K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}

vladimir1956 [14]

Complete question:

A light bulb emits light that travels uniformly in all directions. Detailed measurements show that at a distance of 56 m from the bulb, the amplitude of the electric field is 3.78 V/m. What is the average intensity of the light?

Answer:

The average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²

Explanation:

Given;

Amplitude of the electric field, E₀ = 3.78 V/m

The average intensity of the light is calculated as follows;

I_{avg} = \frac{c\epsilon_0 E_0^2}{2}

where;

I_{avg} is the average intensity of the light

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

I_{avg} = \frac{(3\times 10^8)(8.85 \times 10^{-12}) (3.78)^2}{2} \\\\I_{avg} = 0.01897 \ W/m^2\\\\I_{avg} = 0.02 \ W/m^2

Therefore, the average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²
