The kinetic energy of an object is given by
where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.
For the car in the problem,
and
, so the kinetic energy of the car is
and as we can see, yes, the answer depends on the car's mass.
For this case, the first thing you should do is write the kinematic motion equation of the block.
We have then:
vf = vo + a * t
Where,
vf: Final speed.
vo: Initial speed.
a: acceleration.
t: time.
Substituting the values:
(16) = (0) + a * (16)
Clearing the acceleration:
a = 16/16 = 1m / s ^ 2
Note: the other data for this case are not used in this problem.
answer:
The acceleration of the box is 1m / s ^ 2
one of the property of radio waves is that they have long wavelength. due to their long wavelength , they undergo diffraction around the mountains and thus the waves spread around the mountain. this makes them eligible to be used for long distance communication. they can coded and decoded also . that is why they are used in television and radio system
Ok so the formula is d=vi(t)+½at² and when you substitute it you should get 172.5meters
