A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?

1 answer:

7 0

K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit

Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

$x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Putting, t = 1 s and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

$4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

Diverging lens

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of lens = -2.0D

Unknown:

Focal length = ?

Solution:

The power of lens is the reciprocal of the focal length;

P = $\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the focal length

f = $\frac{1}{P}$ = $-\frac{1}{2}$

The lens is a diverging lens
