Answer:

7.22×10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 7.6 Km/s

Mass (m) = 2500 kg

Energy (E) =?

Next, we shall convert 7.6 Km/s to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

1 km/s = 10³ m/s

Therefore,

7.6 Km/s = 7.6 Km/s × 10³ m/s / 1 km/s

7.6 Km/s = 7.6×10³ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the energy required as follow:

Velocity (v) = 7.6×10³ m/s

Mass (m) = 2500 kg

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 2500 × (7.6×10³)²

E = 1250 × 57760000

E = 7.22×10¹⁰ J

Thus, 7.22×10¹⁰ J of energy is required.

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Time period, T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz, f = 32768 Hz

We need to find the period of the crystal's motion. The relationship between the frequency and the time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T is the time period of the crystal's motion.

Time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{32768}

T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

So, the time period of the crystal's motion is 3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc
zvonat [6]

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
