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

icang [17]
Assume that the shape of Virginia beach is rectangular.

Note that
1 km = 10³ m
1 cm = 10⁻² m

The area is
A = (15 km)*(50 km)
   = (15 x 10³ m)*(50 x 10³ m)
   = 7.5 x 10⁸ m²

Because 2 cm of rain fell, the volume is
V = (7.5 x 10⁸ m)*(2 x 10⁻² m) = 1.5 x 10⁶ m³

Answer:  1.5 x 10⁶ m³

If the battery of your phone can provide 2 mA of current to your phone and holds a charge of 130 C, how long will it take a full
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 65000 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Current (I) = 2 mA

(Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

2 mA = 2 x 10^-3A)

Charge (Q) = 130 C

Time taken for a fully charged phone to die (T) = ?

Recall that the charge is the product of current and time taken.

i.e Q = I x T

130C = 2 x 10^-3A x T

T = 130C / (2 x 10^-3A)

T = 65000 seconds (time will be in seconds because seconds is the unit of time)

Thus, it will take a fully charged phone 65000 seconds to die

The law of suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but .
SVEN [57.7K]
One of Kepler's laws is that the orbits of planets are elliptical. It's not a suggestion. BTW, circles are ellipses too, but so special that their likelihood is close to zero.
