Answer:
(a) the runner's kinetic energy at the given instant is 308 J
(b) the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the runner, m = 64.1 kg
speed of the runner, u = 3.10 m/s
(a) the kinetic energy of the runner at this instant is calculated as;

(b) when the runner doubles his speed, his final kinetic energy is calculated as;

the change in the kinetic energy is calculated as;

Thus, the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.
Who was the first president?
It could be changed by asking
“Who was the first president and what was there scientific accomplishment?”
The final velocity of the 14 kg object is 1.6 m/s in the same direction
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write

where:
is the mass of the first object
is the initial velocity of the first object
is the final velocity of the first object
is the mass of the second object
is the initial velocity of the second object
is the final velocity of the second object
Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:

And the direction is the same as the initial direction, since it has the same sign.
