A 5 kg object is moving in a straight-line with an initial speed of v m/s. It takes 13 s for the speed of the object to increase

to 13 m/s and it kinetic energy increases at a rate of 15 J/s. What is the initial speed v (in m/s)?

The object's kinetic energy changes according to

d<em>K</em>/d<em>t</em> = 15 J/s

If <em>v</em> is the object's initial speed, then its initial kinetic energy is

<em>K</em> (0) = 1/2 (5 kg) <em>v</em> ²

Use the fundamental theorem of calculus to solve for <em>K</em> as a function of time <em>t</em> :

K(t) = K(0) + \displaystyle\int_0^t \left(15\frac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathrm du = \dfrac12 (5\,\mathrm{kg}) v^2 + \left(15\dfrac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)t

After <em>t</em> = 13 s, the object's kinetic energy is

<em>K</em> (13 s) = 1/2 (5 kg) (13 m/s)² = 422.5 J

Put this as the left side in the equation above for <em>K(t)</em> and solve for <em>v</em> :

422.5\,\mathrm J = \dfrac12 (5\,\mathrm{kg}) v^2 + \left(15\dfrac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)(13\,\mathrm s)

==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 9.5 m/s

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

\tau=I*\alpha

given

\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?

\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2

the angular velocity is

\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s

KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2

KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J
