If the kinetic energy of a particle is doubled, by what factor has its speed increased?

Physics

zimovet [89]3 years ago

Answer: by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass of the particle and v is the velocity:

If we double the kinetic energy, we have:

k' = 2k = 2(m/2)*v^2

now we want to see by what factor is increased the velocity, so we must put that 2 inside the square power, this is:

k' = 2*(m/2)*(v)^2 = (m/2)*(√2*v)^2 is the new kinetic energy,

This means that the velocity is increased by a factor of √2

What two factors directly affect the acceleration of an object?
marin [14]

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied to it. It states that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass.

A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x
mash [69]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.
