An object of mass 3.4 kg is moving in a straight line with kinetic energy 59.177 J. A force is applied in the direction of its m

otion for 2.7 seconds, and as a result, its kinetic energy is multiplied by a factor of 1.57. By what factor is its momentum multiplied?

Answer:

Its momentum is multiplied by a factor of 1.25

Explanation:

First, we <u>calculate the initial velocity of the object</u>:

K = 0.5 * m * v₁²

59.177 J = 0.5 * 3.4 kg * v₁²

v₁ = 5.9 m/s

With that velocity we can <u>calculate the initial momentum of the object</u>:

p₁ = v₁ * m

p₁ = 20.06 kg·m/s

Then we <u>calculate the velocity of the object once its kinetic energy has increased</u>:

(59.177 J) * 1.57 = 0.5 * 3.4 kg * v₂²

v₂ = 7.4 m/s

And <u>calculate the second momentum of the object</u>:

p₂ = v₂ * m

p₂ = 25.16 kg·m/s

Finally we <u>calculate the factor</u>:

p₂/p₁ = 1.25

Having difficulty finding the PE and KE for these values no mass is given. Does anyone know to go solve these?

11) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13) 50.0 m/s

14) 41.6 m/s

Explanation:

11)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground. It is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to the ground

Here in this problem, when the train is at the top, we have:

m = 8325 kg (mass of the train + riders)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

h = 127 m (height of the train at the top)

Substituting,

$PE=(8325)(9.8)(127)=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the train must be conserved (in absence of friction). So we can write:

$KE_t + PE_t = KE_b + PE_b$

where

$KE_t$ is the kinetic energy at the top

$PE_t$ is the potential energy at the top

$KE_b$ is the kinetic energy at the bottom

$PE_b$ is the potential energy at the bottom

The kinetic energy is the energy due to motion; since the train is at rest at the top, we have

$KE_t=0$

Also, at the bottom the height is zero, so the potential energy is zero

$PE_b=0$

Therefore, we find:

$KE_b=PE_t=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

From question 12), we know that the kinetic energy of the train at the bottom is

$KE=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

We also know that the mass is

m = 8325 kg

Therefore, we can calculate the speed of the train at the bottom:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.04\cdot 10^7)}{8325}}=50.0 m/s$

14)

At the top of the second hill, the total mechanical energy of the train is still conserved.

Therefore, we can write again:

$KE_1 + PE_1 = KE_2 + PE_2$

where

$KE_1$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 1st hill

$PE_1$ is the potential energy at the top of the 1st hill

$KE_2$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 2nd hill

$PE_2$ is the potential energy at the top of the 2nd hill

From the previous questions, we know that

$KE_1=0$

and

$PE_1=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

The height of the second hill is

h = 39 m

So we can also find the potential energy at the second hill:

$PE_2=mgh=(8325)(9.8)(39)=3.2\cdot 10^6 J$

So, the kinetic energy at the second hill is

$KE_2=PE_1-PE_2=1.04\cdot 10^7 - 3.2\cdot 10^6 =7.2\cdot 10^6 J$

And so, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE_2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.2\cdot 10^6)}{8325}}=41.6 m/s$

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.

Which of these ionic compounds have polyatomic ions? Check all that apply.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

CaCO₃ and
NaOH.

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions that contain more than one atom in each one of the ions.

Ionic compounds are made of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ion). By convention, the cation is written before the anion.

List the ions in each compound:

<h3>CaCO₃</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ .

$\rm Ca^{2+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains four atoms (one C atom and three O atoms) in each ion.

<h3>NaF</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm F^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm F^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>FeO</h3>

Cation: $\rm Fe^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {O}^{2-}$ .

Both $\rm Fe^{2+}$ and $\rm O^{2-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>CaCl₂</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {Cl}^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>NaOH</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {OH}^{-}$ .

$\rm Na^{+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {OH}^{-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains two atoms (one O atom and one H atom) in each ion.
