Does a rolling ball on a level floor have PE or KE? Explain.

1 answer:

8 0

Kinetic energy since if its rolling is already using the stored potential energy that it had before it was given an amount of energy to release it for a given time

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

$x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t$

and the police car distance:

$x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\$

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being $t=0$

The second solution will be:

$0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s$

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

A van is traveling with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. The driver takes a time of 45 seconds to speed up to a velocity of 20 m/s

Rufina [12.5K]

Initial velocity=u=12m/s
Final velocity=v=20m/s
Time=t=45s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{20-12}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{45}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=0.1m/s^2$

Now

Distance=s

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (20)^2-12^2=2(0.1)s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 400-144=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 256=0.2s$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=\dfrac{256}{0.2}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=1280m$

The multi-link mechanism in the Variable Compression Turbo Engine _____, thus varying the compression ratio.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

A. Adjusts how far down the piston travels

Explanation:

This type of engine changes the possition of the piston in order to modify the compression chamber volume and therefore the compression ratio of the engine. The volume of the chamber is proportional to the run of the piston (how far down the piston travels)

This engine is used to achive the optimal compression rate in each individual stage.
