The same braking force does work on these objects to slow them down. The work done is equal to their change in kinetic energy:
FΔx = 0.5mv²
F = force, Δx = distance traveled, m = mass, v = speed
Isolate Δx:
Δx = 0.5mv²/F
Calculate Δx for each object.
Object 1: m = 4.0kg, v = 2.0m/s
Δx = 0.5(4.0)(2.0)²/F = 8/F
Object 2: m = 1.0kg, v = 4.0m/s
Δx = 0.5(1.0)(4.0)²/F = 8/F
The two objects travel the same distance before stopping.
Answer:
Explanation:
Oil cannot dissolve in water because oil molecules repel water molecules
When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down ...
-- that's the fastest it's going to swing, so its kinetic energy is maximum;
and
-- that's the lowest it's going to get, so its potential energy is minimum.
'c' is your choice.
A) 8.11 m/s
For a satellite orbiting around an asteroid, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the asteroid:
where
m is the satellite's mass
v is the speed
R is the radius of the asteroide
h is the altitude of the satellite
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the asteroid
Solving the equation for v, we find
where:
Substituting into the formula,
B) 11.47 m/s
The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by
where:
Substituting into the formula, we find:
Answer:
3.6km South East
Explanation:
Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point and the direction it is displaced in. To calculate the displacement we can use the pythagoras theorem because the 3km East and the 2km south form the two shorter sides of a right angled triangle between the starting and ending points. So, the displacement is the length C of the triangle which we can calculate as follows:
Pythagoras Theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2
(2)^2+(3)^2=c^(2)
4+9=c^2
Square root 13 = c
c=3.6km (1dp)
The total displacement is 3.6km and is in the approximate direction of South East (because he travelled east and south).
Hope this helped!
