Prompt gamma rays are....
I added individual steps for clarity. Note that g must be positive if the solution is to be real.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Answer:
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;
K1 = 1/2mv²
For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;
K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²
K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)
K2 = (3m)(8v²)
K2 = 24mv²
To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;
K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²
K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)
K2/K1 = 48
K2 = 48K1
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.
The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds) = 4,000 foot-pounds of work.
If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds) = 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
The rate of doing work is called "power".
(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)
So back to our problem.
John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".
So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of
(645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)
= 1.173 Horsepower. GO JOHN !
(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________
Oh my gosh ! Look at #26 ! There are the metric units I was talking about.
Do you need #26 ?
I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.
a). 5
b). 750 Joules
c). 800 Joules
d). 93.75%
You're welcome.
And #27 is 0.667 m/s .
Choice-C is a correct statement.
