Answer:

36 J

Explanation:

Let's start off with the Kinetic Energy formula: 1/2mv^{2}

So to find the <em>change</em> in Kinetic Energy, you would first have to find the Kinetic Energy in the beginning and in the end.

*Note: Mass: you incorrectly wrote weight = 6 kg- because weight is a force you have to write 6 Newtons. If you are talking about the <em>mass</em>, you would write 6 kg. If you are talking about weight, you would write 6 Newtons. The difference will make significant changes to the answer, so I will give you the answer for both.

If 6 kg is the MASS:

Beginning: find the kinetic energy.

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(6)(2 squared)= \frac{1}{2}(6)(4)= 12 J

End: find the kinetic energy.

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(6)(4 squared)=\frac{1}{2}(6)(16)= 48 J

Answer:

36 J

If 6 kg is the WEIGHT:

We know that the weight formula is mg, or mass times acceleration due to gravity (which is always 9.8 m/s^2). Plug in the numbers:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

6 = mass x 9.8

6 = 9.8m

*Divide both sides*

mass = 0.6 kg

Now, we can use the mass to find the kinetic energy.

Beginning: find the Kinetic Energy

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6)(2 squared)= \frac{1}{2}(0.6)(4)= 1.2 J

End: find the Kinetic Energy

Plug in all parts of the formula: 1/2mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(4 squared)=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(16)= 4.8 J

Answer:

3.6 J

(this answer is not very feasible, so 36 J is the way to go. But just remember, don't mix up weight and mass again- as you can see, they lead to different answers!)

Two particles, each of charge Q, are fixed at opposite corners of a square that lies in the plane of the page. A positive test c
amid [387]

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is √2F.

Explanation:

Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:

F_N=\sqrt{F^{2}+F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2}F

Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.

The distance between two consecutive nodesof a standing wave is 20.9cm.Thehandgen-erating the pulses moves up and down throughac
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

Since all objects are ‘weightless’ for an astronaut in orbit, is it possible for astronauts to tell whether an object is heavy o

W=gm
where g - gravitation 
m - mass
w - weight
as gravitation equals to zero, multiplying by 0 gives W=0

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 210-g golf club is traveling at 56 m/s just before it strikes a 46-g
tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf club, m₁ = 210 g = 0.21 kg

Initial velocity of golf club, u₁ = 56 m/s

Mass of another golf ball which is at rest, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at 42 m/s. We need to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact. Let it is v.

Initial momentum of golf ball, p_i=m_1u_1=0.21\ kg\times 56\ m/s=11.76\ kg-m/s

After the collision, final momentum p_f=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v

Using the conservation of momentum as :

p_i=p_f

11.76\ kg-m/s=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v

v = 63.91 m/s

So, the speed of the  golf ball just after impact is 63.91 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Select the correct answer.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If the object is moving at a constant speed, the object isn't accelerating as the velocity doesn't change.
