Answer:

4kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Kinetic energy = 1.6J

Velocity = 0.2m/s

Unknown:

Mass of the body = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

1.6 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 0.2 x v²

1.6 = 0.1v²

v² = 16

v = 4kg

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s$

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

When a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star.This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas & dust.
