Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m when the cord is stretched 2.00
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>

<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>

<em>E = 5×4</em>

<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>

<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Obi Wan hears the destruction of a planet and all of its people through 'the force'. These sounds are only in his head and are n
trapecia [35]

Answer:

medium

Explanation:

<em>A sound </em><em>medium</em><em> is defined as channel through which sound can travel or be transmitted. </em>

Sound medium could be in the form gases, liquids, solids or plasmas. Space is made up of vacuum and therefore, has no medium within it. Hence, space cannot transmit sound in any form or allows sound to travel through it.
