Answers:
a) 5400000 J
b) 45.92 m
Explanation:
a) The kinetic energy
of an object is given by:

Where:
is the mass of the train
is the speed of the train
Solving the equation:

This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed
b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:


Where:
is the train's initial kinetic energy
is the train's initial potential energy
is the train's final kinetic energy
is the train's final potential energy, where
is the acceleration due gravity and
is the height.
Rewriting the equation with the given values:

Finding
:
"Frequency" just means "often-ness" ... how often something happens.
It's always expressed as
<em>(number of happenings) / (some period of time) .</em>
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the cell phone is 9J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of motion.
The kinetic energy is expressed as
KE= 1/2m(v)²
Given data
Mass of cell phone m= 80g--to kg=80/1000= 0.08kg
Velocity of cell phone v= 15m/s
Substituting our given data we have
KE= 1/2*0.08(15)²
KE= (0.08*225)/2
KE=18/2
KE= 9J
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball. What can we do ?
It's not a catastrophe. The question only asks which one is bigger. If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is. We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.
<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.
<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.
