If a car's speed triples, how does the momentum and kinetic energy of the

Physics

Harrizon [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: When the car speed triples, momentum also triples but Kinetic energy increases 9 times or by 9 fold.

Explanation:

The momentum of a car (an object) is

p= mv

where

m is =the mass of the object( in this case car)

v is its= velocity

While the kinetic energy is is given by the formulae

K=1/2mv²

To determine how momentum and kinetic energy of the  car changes when the speed of the object triples, We have that the new velocity,

v¹= 3v

So that  the momentum  change becomes

p¹=mv¹=m (3v)= 3mv

mv=p

therefore p¹= 3p

we can see that the momentum also triples.

And the kinetic energy change  becomes

K¹=1/2m(v¹)²= 1/2m (3v)²

= 1/2m9v²= 1/2 x m x 9 x v²=9 x1/2mv²

1/2mv²=K

K¹= Kinetic energy = 9k

but Kinetic energy increases 9 times

what is required to bring about a phase change 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy 3.an in
frozen [14]

Answer

Correct answers are 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy

Explanation

All existing matter can undergo phase change it means they may transform from one state to another. phase change of a matter  may occur due to change in energy and change in pressures.

for example there is an ice cube which is a solid and if  we want to change it phase into liquid water for that purpose we have to supply some energy to ice cube it means we have to give some heat to ice cube. After supplying heat energy to the ice it will turn into water it means there is phase change from solid to liquid due to supplying the heat. Similarly we can change the liquid water into solid ice cube by taking heat energy(reducing temperature) from the liquid water  .

In some cases the matter doesn't want to undergo phase transformation. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure.But , it can change to solid state at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Calculate the change in total internal energy for a system that releases 2.59 × 104 kJ of heat and does 6.46 × 104 kJ of work on
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The equation to use for this is the following:

dU = q + w

As the heat is being release, this value is negative, and same here happens with the work done, because it's in the surroundings.

Therefore the change in the energy would be:

dU = -2.59x10^4 - 6.46^4

dU = -9.05x10^4 kJ

A train moves moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 sec . what is its acceleration
spayn [35]
A = Delta v/Delta t
Delta v = 25 - 0 = 25
Delta t = 30
25/30 = 5/6 = 1.66 repeating
