Answer: The more massive one will have larger kinetic energy.

Explanation:

We know that when we drop an object, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

And to get the velocity, we need to integrate over time, to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial speed of the object.

You can see that the mass of the object does not affect the velocity of it.

Then when we drop two marbles of different masses from the same height, we know that the final velocity of them will be equal.

Now, we also know that the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

Then the kinetic energy of the marble with less mass can be written as:

k = (m/2)*v^2

And the kinetic energy for the more massive one is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

And we know that both of them have the same velocity, and M is larger than m, then we can conclude that the marble with larger mass will have larger kinetic energy.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

What’s Is Example Of

*heat transfer energy, As it always flow from higher temperature to lower temperature till it reach the thermal equilibrium.

example: -friction.

- collisions.

- the hot cup which's hotter than your hand✋will transfer heat in your hand. and a cold piece of ice which's colder than your hand to causing the heat transfer out of your hand .

*temperature ️ depends on the move of particle and we have a different shape of motion like:

translational motion.

rotational motion.

vibrational motion.

when the temperature:

increases it has more kinetic energy and faster moving particles and the object expanded which known as (thermal expansion).

decreases it has less kinetic energy and slower moving particles.

As kinetic energy is 1/2 mV².

example: -the mercury in thermometers.

*Absolute zero :

The theoretical temperature at which substances possess no thermal energy, equal to 0 K, −273.15°C, or −459.67°F.

*specific heat "c" :

is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy.

c=Q/m∆T

where Q is energy .

note water has a higher specific heat, and lower temperature.

*conduction <em><u>example</u></em> When the stove is turned on, the skillet becomes very hot due to the conduction of heat from the burner to the skillet.
