The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}$

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}$

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 6.8 \times {5}^{2}$

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25$

$\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J$

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, $m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

$qE=mg$

$m=\dfrac{qE}{g}$

$q=6e$ , e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, $E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m$

$m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}$

$m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$

So, the mass of the oil drop is $3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Explanation:

Given that

At X=0 V=Vo

At X=X1 V=0

As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.

We know that

$V^2=U^2-2aS$

$0=V_o^2-2a X_1$

$a=\dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

So the friction force on the box

Ff= m x a

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Where m is the mass of the box.

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh

mel-nik [20]

Answer: $u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }$

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

$m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )$

$2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )$ ------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

$mvcos\phi =2musin\theta$ -----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

$(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2$

$4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi$

$4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi$

$u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }$
