Which graphs show the correct relationship between kinetic energy and mass?
2 answers:
The correct answer is
Graph C.
In fact, kinetic energy and mass are related by the formula:
where K is the kinetic energy, m is the mass, v is the speed of the object.
From the formula, we see that there is a direct proportionality between K and m, therefore on the graph this relationship should be represented by a straight line, as in graph C.

The goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground
Explanation:
Consider the vertical motion of ball,
We have equation of motion v = u + at
Initial velocity, u = u sin θ
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s
Acceleration = -g
Substituting
v = u + at
0 = u sin θ - g t
This is the time of flight.
Consider the horizontal motion of ball,
Initial velocity, u = u cos θ
Acceleration, a =0 m/s²
Time,
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
This is the range.
In this problem
u = 30 m/s
g = 9.81 m/s²
θ = 45° - For maximum range
Substituting
Maximum horizontal distance traveled by ball without touching ground is 45.87 m, which is less than 95 m.
So the goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground
Answer:
v = 12.12 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg
The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.
We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m
So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.
