Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?

1 answer:

5 0

Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!

If a 6V battery is connected to a light bulb whose resistance is 55,000Ω How much current will flow in the circuit?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 6V

Resistance = 55,000 Ohms

To find the current flowing through the circuit;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current the subject of formula, we have;

$I = \frac {V}{R}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$I = \frac {6}{55000}$

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

In the final situation below, the 8.0 kg box has been launched with a speed of 10.0 m/s across a frictionless surface. Find the

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed

Anni [7]

Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
