7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Equation for translational kinetic energy = 1/2 m V² where m is mass and V is velocity .

In first case let mass of car be m

Translational kinetic energy = 1/2 m x 40² = 800 m .

In the second case ,

Translational kinetic energy = 1/2 m x 20² = 200 m

So , in former case kinetic energy of car is 4 times that of second case.

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {d^2g}{2v^2}

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}

\displaystyle h=\frac  {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
