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

Two cars cover the same distance in a straight line. Car a covers the distance at a constant velocity. Car b starts from rest an

Artyom0805 [142]

a) For the motion of car with uniform velocity we have , $s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ , where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken a is the acceleration.

In this case s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, a =0 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$520 = u*223\\ \\u = 2.33 m/s$

The constant velocity of car a = 2.33 m/s

b) We have $s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, u =0 m/s

Substituting

$520 = 0*223+\frac{1}{2} *a*223^2\\ \\ a = 0.0209 m/s^2$

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Substituting

v = 0+0.0209*223 = 4.66 m/s

So final velocity of car b = 4.66 m/s

c) Acceleration = 0.0209 $m/s^2$

How is work calculated?

BartSMP [9]

Work is force times distance. If there's no distance, there's no work being done.

In 1994, Leroy Burrell of the United States set what was then a new world record for the men’s 100 m run. He ran the 1.00  102

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

61.33 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Velocity =?

Velocity = Distance / time

Velocity = 1×10² / 9.5

Velocity = 10.53 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Velocity (v) = 10.53 m/s

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 10.53²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 110.8809

3.40×10³ = m × 55.44045

Divide both side by 55.44045

m = 3.40×10³ / 55.44045

m = 61.33 Kg

Thus, the mass of Leroy Burrell is 61.33 Kg

A 0.68 kg squirrel is resting on a branch 8 meters above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel? A

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.68 kg

It is placed at a height of 8 m above the ground.

It is required to find the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel. It is possessed by an object due to its position. Its formula is given by :

$E=mgh\\\\E=0.68\times 9.8\times 8\\\\E=53.312\ J$

So, the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

two children sit on a merry go round. on sits 0.5 m from the center and the other sits 3 m from the center. Which child has grea

GuDViN [60]

i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.

hope this helps!
