Here, K.E. = 1/2 * mv²

So, K.E. = 1/2 * (1200) * (24)²

K.E. = 1/2 * 1200 * 576

K.E. = 600 * 576

K.E. = 345,600 J

Hope this helps!

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

$D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km$

For direction,

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

While standing on the edge of the grand canyon, you see a rattlesnake and scream. You hear the echo of the scream off canyon flo

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

1904 m

Explanation:

$\pink{\frak{Given}}\begin{cases} \textsf{ You scream after seeing a rattle snake .}\\\textsf{Scream is heard after 11.2 s .} \end{cases}$

Here we need to find out the depth of the canyon . When you will scream after seeing a snake , the sound produced will travel till the end of the canyon and after hitting the end , it will travel back to you .

So if the depth of the canyon is d (say) , then the total distance travelled by the sound wave will be d + d = 2d .

And we know that the speed of the sound is approximately 340m/s in air , so we can use the formula distance = speed * time to calculate the depth of the canyon . So ,

$\sf \longrightarrow Distance = (Speed)(Time) \\$

$\sf \longrightarrow 2d = 340m/s * 11.2 s\\$

$\sf \longrightarrow d = \dfrac{340m/s * 11.2s}{2} \\$

$\sf \longrightarrow \boxed{\bf Depth_{canyon}= 1904m }\\$

In example 18. 4 of the text, the deflection angle of the laser beam as it exits the prism is 22. 6º. If the prism had been made

Marrrta [24]

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

What is a laser beam?

Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.

It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.

Here given that,

refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52

refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59

deflection angle, B = 22.6º

For the second surface,

B = 45º - 22.6º

B = 22.40º

Now from the formula of Snell's law:

n1 sinФ = n2 sin B

sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2

sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)

Ф = 37.29º

Hence,

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

An object in space is initially stationary relative to the Earth. Then, a force begins acting on the object, starting with a for

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

v_f =63 m/s

Explanation:

given,

starting force = 0 N

uniform rate increase to 36 N

time of action of Force = 35 s

mass of the body = 10 Kg

Speed of the object = ?

From the given data

if we plot F-t curve we will get a triangular shape

we know,

Impulse = Area between F-t curve

= (1/2) x base x height

= 0.5 x 35 x 36

= 630 N.s

now use Impulse-momentum theorem

Impulse = change in momentum

630 = 10 x (v_f - vi)

630 = 10 x (v_f - 0)

v_f =63 m/s

Speed of the object at 35 sec is equal to v_f =63 m/s
