The correct answer is
<span>b. increases with the square of speed

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
</span>K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
<span>where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed, therefore option B is the correct one.</span>

alekssr [168]

Answer: The velocity magnitude or the velocity direction chages.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a system moved in same direction and is also directly proportional to the external force which acts on it while inversely proportional to the mass. The formula is: a = F/m

Based on the question, since the object obtains acceleration, then it can be infered that there will be changes in the velocity magnitude or the direction as a result of the motion.

What is the answer to this definition ?
Paul [167]

Newton's 2nd law of motion is:    <em>Force</em> = (mass) x (acceleration) .

Force is the only way to change an object's velocity.

Object a travels in the +x-direction before hitting a stationary object
Leto [7]
The object’s resultant angle of motion with the +x-axis after the collision is 47°

<span>From object A:
 
1) x-momentum is 5.7 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second,
2) y-momentum is 6.2 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second.
 
Now, we know, tan</span>Ф = \frac{y}{x}

⇒tanФ = \frac{6.2 × 10^4 }{5.7 × 10^4}

⇒tanФ = 1.088

⇒ Ф = tan^{-1} 1.088 
         =  47.4 ≈ 47
