Answer:

B

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 3^{2}

     = 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 4^{2}

     = 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m b) the extension of the spr
suter [353]

(a) The spring constant is 500 N/m.

(b) The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is 0.05 m.

(c) The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is 2.5 N.

The given parameters:

  • Applied force, F = 10 N
  • Extension of the spring, x = 20 mm

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\k = \frac{F}{x} \\\\k = \frac{10}{20 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\k = 500 \ N/m

The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\x = \frac{F}{k} \\\\x = \frac{25}{500} \\\\x = 0.05 \ m

The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\F = 500 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}\\\\F = 2.5 \ N

anastassius [24]

Answer: 3.48g

Explanation:

here, we will be using conservation of momentum to solve the problem. i.e the total momentum remains unchanged, unless an external force acts on the system. We'll in thus question, there is no external force acting in the system.

Remember, momentum = mass * velocity, then

mass of blood * velocity of blood = combined mass of subject and pallet * velocity of subject and pallet

Velocity of blood = 56.5cm = 0.565m

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54kg * (0.000063/0.160)

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54 * 0.00039375

mass of blood * 0.565 = 0.001969

mass of blood = 0.00348kg

Thus, the mass of blood that leaves the heart is 3.48g

The electromagnetic spectrum is a map of all the types of light that we can identify. It separates all the types of light by wavelength because that directly relates to how energetic the wave is. More energetic wave

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).
