A 4 kg kitten is sliding at 12 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant force is applied that slows it with an accel

eration of 3 m/s/s. How much work must this force do to stop the kitten

Answer:

288 Joules

Explanation:

Work= delta kinetic energy. To find the work required to stop the kitten, you have to find the delta kinetic energy between when the kitten is moving and when it is stopped. Since it is not moving when it's stopped, it has no kinetic energy. So to find the work, just find the kinetic energy of the kitten moving at 12m/s.

KE=1/2((m)(v^2)), therefore

delta KE=(1/2)*((4kg)*((12m/s)^2))-0

If the distance from a light source triples, how does light intensity change? The intensity will be 3x greater. The intensity wi
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The intensity will be 1/9 as much.

Explanation:

The intensity of the light or any source is inversely related to the square of the distance.

I\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Now according to the question the distance is increased by three times than,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{r_{2}^{2} }

Therefore,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{(3r_{1})^{2} }\\\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{1}{9} \\{I_{2}=\frac{1}{9}{I_{1} }

Therefore the intensity will become 1/9 times to the initial intensity.

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.
