Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ of \ the \ bear (KE) = 23002.1 \ J}$

Given:

Mass of the polar bear (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed of the polar bear (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}$

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 380.2 \times {11}^{2}$

$\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 190.1 \times 121$

$\sf \implies KE = 190.1 \times 121$

$\sf \implies KE = 23002.1 \: J$

$\therefore$

Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE) = 23002.1 J

A rocket at rest with a mass of 942 kg is acted on by an average net force of 6,731 N upwards for 21 s. What is the final veloci

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

m = 942

F = 6731

t = 21 seconds

vi = 0

vf = ?

Formula

F = m * (vf - vi ) / t

Solution

6731 = 942*(vf - 0)/21 Multiply both sides by 21

6731 * 21 = 942*vf

141351 = 942*vf Divide by 942

141351/942 = vf

vf = 151 m/s

Suppose the maximum power delivered by a car's engine results in a force of 16000 N on the car by the road. In the absence of an

Answer:

Approximately $9.7\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

Assuming that there is no other force on this vehicle, the $16000\; \rm N$ force from the road would be the only force on this vehicle. The net force would then be equal to this $16000\; \rm N\!$ force. The size of the net force would be $16000\; \rm N\!\!$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this vehicle and let $\Sigma F$ denote the net force on this vehicle.

By Newton's Second Law of motion, the acceleration of this vehicle would be proportional to the net force on this vehicle. In other words, the acceleration of this vehicle, $a$ , would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\end{aligned}$ .

For this vehicle, $\Sigma F = 16000\; \rm N$ whereas $m = 1650\; \rm kg$ . The acceleration of this vehicle would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{16000\; \rm N}{1650\; \rm kg} \\ &= \frac{16000\; \rm kg \cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}{1650\; \rm kg}\\ &\approx 9.7 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .
