An 8 kg cat is running 4 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?

Physics

Answer: Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (8 kg) (4 m/s)² =

 

                                 (4 kg) (16 m²/s²) =

                                  64  (kg-m/s²) (m) = 64 newton-m = 64 joules

  (about 17.6 pounds)

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

How long does it take for a train to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 40m/s if it accelerates at 3 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t              Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t          Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t        Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30                     Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

There is a thing called a continental drift. It started about 200 million years ago. At first the continents were all attached, this super continent was called pangaea. Continental drift occurs because of the shift of the tectonic plates within the earth's outer shell. The heat from within the earth triggers movement to occur. This a very slow process though. It took 200 million years for the continents to get where the are now and would probably take another 200 to collide.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
VLD [36.1K]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Alvin (DSV-2) is a manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The vehicle was built by General Mills' Electronics Group[2] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Named to honor the prime mover and creative inspiration for the vehicle, Allyn Vine, Alvin was commissioned on 5 June 1964. The submersible is launched from the deep submergence support vessel RV Atlantis (AGOR-25), which is also owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by WHOI. The submersible has made more than 4,400 dives, carrying two scientists and a pilot, to observe the lifeforms that must cope with super-pressures
