An 8 kg toddler is running at a speed of 10 m/s. how much energy does he have?

1 answer:

8 0

To find the Kinetic energy this is the equation

KE=1/2mv^2

so we know the mass (m) which is 8kg

we also know the velocity (v) which is 10 m/s

so we plug that into the equation and it should look like this - 1/2(8kg)(10m/s)^2 now we solve

so 1/2 x 8 = 4 so then we just do (4)(10)^2 which gets us 400.

Since kinetic=Joules

The answer is 400 J

Simple machines are in a mousetrap

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

A mousetrap makes use of a simple machine called a lever.

Explanation:

In a second-class lever the effort force is at the other end, with the load in the middle. In a third-class lever, the load is at the end and the effort force is between the fulcrum and the load. When you set the mousetrap, you are using a second-class lever. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥

what is the distance moved by a particle moving along x axis if it starts from x=-7m goes upto x= -12m turns and stops at x=+34m

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: Trajectory=51m

Displacement=41m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the path followed by the body (is a scalar magnitude).

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector magnitude).

According to this, in the description of the object placed at x= -7m on a number line and moving some 12m to the left and then to the right, stopping at x=34m; we are talking about the path followed by the object, hence its trajectory. So, 51 m is its trajectory.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the object (x=-7m) to its final position (x=+34m).

Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for this object is 41m.
