How do mass and speed affect kinetic energy?

2 answers:

6 0

The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed<span> affects by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.</span>

Here is your answer:

Kinetic energy is when an object or person is moving.

Ex: A car going down the street.

Mass effects kinetic energy because mass is weight and weight will make an object go slower which lowers the kinetic energy and rises the potential energy (that's when a object is at rest or not moving)

How do you identify short and long term comets

erica [24]

A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.0 vibrations

Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.47 m

Explanation:

$N$ = Number of vibrations = 37

$t$ = total time taken = 33 s

$T$ = time period of each vibration

frequency of vibration is given as

$f = \frac{N}{t} \\f = \frac{37}{33} \\f = 1.12$ Hz

$d$ = distance traveled along the rope = 421 cm = 4.21 m

$t$ = time taken to travel the distance = 8 s

$v$ = speed of the wave

Speed of the wave is given as

$v = \frac{d}{t}\\v = \frac{4.21}{8}\\v = 0.53 ms^{-1}$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the harmonic wave

wavelength of the harmonic wave is given as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\lambda = \frac{0.53}{1.12} \\\lambda = 0.47 m$

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

Kay [80]

Answer:

The true course: $40.29^\circ$ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

$V_w$ = velocity of wind = $30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

$V_p$ = velocity of plane in still air = $100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Assume:

$V_r$ = resultant velocity of the plane

$\theta$ = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

$\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ$

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of $40.29^\circ$ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

$\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h$

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.
