Answer:
A) Increases by a factor of 2
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
Where;
K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
M represents mass measured in kilograms.
V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
Given that mass, m = 2m
Substituting into the equation, we have;
K.E = ½mv²
K.E = ½*2mv²
Cross-multiplying, we have;
2K.E = 2mv²
Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>
When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.
The relation between the initial and final speeds is:
Where:
vf = Final speed
vo = Initial speed
a = Constant acceleration
t = Elapsed time
It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.
Solving for a:
Substituting:
